GROUPS SCHEDULE DRIVE FOR SCHOOL SUPPLIES

It's time to head back to class, and the Salvation Army and Target Stores are making preparations.

The Salvation Army and Target will sponsor a school supplies drive this week. As families purchase school supplies for their children, the Salvation Army is asking that they purchase additional supplies for families that cannot otherwise afford them.

Salvation Army workers will create 600 supply packages to start the campaign and make additional ones as needed.

Supplies can be dropped off at the Target store in Cape Girardeau. The Salvation Army will distribute the supplies from 2 to 4:30 p.m. from Aug. 21 to Sept. 1.

To receive the supplies, participants must show proof of income and bring a social security card for every member of the household.

For more information, contact the Salvation Army at 335-7000.
