CANTON, GA -- Over the past month, the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce has been collecting donated items to be given to the L.R. Tippens Education Center.

Volunteers donated to the "truly unique school," according to a Chamber of Commerce press release. Items were collected at the Chamber over the past month.
