State Rep. Paul Takac, D-College Township, and the YMCA of Centre County are partnering for a donation drive to help local students.
The Back-to-School Donation Drive began Friday and continues through Aug. 13, according to a release from Takac’s office. Donations can be dropped off between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at Takac’s district office, 216 W. Hamilton Ave.
Donated items must be new and can include backpacks, erasers, pens, pencils, colored pencils, highlighters, pencil sharpeners, markers, sticky notes, glue sticks, composition books, pencil boxes, spiral notebooks, tissues, scissors, three-ring binders and crayons.
“This is an opportunity for members of the community to support students and ensure that they are prepared for the upcoming academic year,” Takac said. “On behalf of the YMCA of Centre County, we are happy to collect donations to help students in need.”
