On Amazon Prime Day, Donate School Supplies To Southington

Southington Community Services is hoping folks donate school supplies for its back-to-school program via its Amazon wish list.

SOUTHINGTON, CT — With schoolchildren's summer vacation at its approximate halfway point, the time is now to start thinking about back-to-school shopping.

And the Southington Community Services department is hoping folks keep that in mind, especially since Amazon Prime Day was Wednesday and the town has set up a "Back-to-School Amazon Wish List."

On that list is a variety of much-needed school supplies that community services hopes to collect for qualified Southington students entering grades K-12.
