Annual School Supply Drive Kicks Off

07/06/2017

The Center for Service and Community Engagement’s annual drive for school supplies to benefit KidSmart, Inc., SLU-sponsored charter schools and students in the St. Louis Public Schools kicks off today. The drive runs until Aug. 4.

This year, there are special requests for pencils, backpacks, colored pencils and notebooks.

Donation bins will be located in various departments across the campus as well as downtown at the law school.

General drop-off bins will be located at:

• Busch Student Center, Main Lobby
• Pius XII Memorial Library, near Einsteins
• Wool Building, Main Lobby
• Wuller Hall, Campus Ministry Lobby

Departments and divisions are encouraged to donate any new or gently used items. 

Monetary donations are also accepted, with checks being made payable to Saint Louis University.

Last year, the SLU community contributed over 12,000 items to local schools, the most of any college or university in the St. Louis metro area.
