FARMINGTON, CT — Farmington Community & Supportive Services is asking residents to help local students prepare for the new school year by donating new school supplies.
The department's annual Back-to-School Drive is underway, with donations being accepted now through Friday, Aug. 14, a week longer than originally planned.
New school supplies can be dropped off at the Staples House, 2 Monteith Drive, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Residents who cannot make an in-person donation can also purchase items through the Farmington Community Services Amazon Wish List and have them delivered directly to the Staples House.
The drive is intended to provide Farmington students with supplies they need as they return to school.
