2016 School Supply Drive Continues through Aug. 8

All University employees are encouraged to donate to the drive and support higher educational achievement at KidSmart, Inc., SLU-sponsored charter schools and St. Louis public schools.

Drop off school supply donations to participating departments and help local children achieve higher educational standards.

General donation boxes can be found in the Center for Global Citizenship lobby, Busch Student Center near Barnes and Noble Bookstore, the Pius XII Memorial Library Rotunda, the Wool Center main lobby, the School of Nursing lobby and at the Doisy Research Tower lobby.

Note that this weekend is Missouri’s Tax Free Weekend. This provides an excellent opportunity to pick up some extra school supplies and bolster SLU’s collection.

Monetary donations to purchase school supplies also will be accepted (checks can be made payable to Saint Louis University).

Contact Justin Vilbig at jvilbig@slu.edu or 314-977- 4105 with any questions.
