Drive-Through School Supply Drive

Dosher Memorial Hospital is collecting school supplies for Communities In Schools of Brunswick County on August 3.

The third annual Operation School Supplies at Dosher Memorial Hospital is scheduled for Thursday, August 3, between the hours of 9 am and 1 pm. Anyone is invited to drop off new school supplies at the hospital front entrance, and the supplies will be donated for the benefit of students served by Communities In Schools of Brunswick County. Participants will be able to drive through and drop off donations without having to leave their cars.

This event will be held in conjunction with the Communities In Schools annual Back to School Supply Drive, which takes place each August. Collection boxes also can be found at their thrift shops. Dosher looks forward to hosting an alternative location for this event, with the convenience of a drive-through arrangement. The school supplies collected enable every student to be prepared for the school year by having the tools they need to succeed.

Needed supplies include the following:

• Headphones or earbuds
• Crayons
• Loose leaf paper – college ruled
• Loose leaf paper – wide ruled
• Colored Pencils
• Glue Sticks
• Dry Erase Markers
• #2 Pencils (not mechanical) and erasers

• Composition books – wide ruled
• Spiral notebooks and dividers for 2-inch binders
