School Supply Landslide taking donations

Wanted: Paper, pens, pencils, notebooks, calculators, backpacks and more!

The 13th Annual KAKE-TV School Supply Landslide will collect supplies from now until August 24. The Landslide is co-sponsored by Credit Union of America, The Wichita Eagle, Radio Disney, Wichita Public Schools, The Salvation Army, and Arby’s. The Salvation Army will distribute donated items to locations throughout the Wichita area.

School supplies may be delivered to KAKE-TV or Wichita-area Credit Union of America locations. Monetary donations are also accepted. All checks should be made out to “The Salvation Army” with “School Supply Landslide” noted on the memo line at the bottom of your check.

The Landslide began in 1996 in response to concerns expressed by area educators and parents about children coming to school without the supplies they need. Last year, the School Supply Landslide distributed school supplies to more than 6,000 Wichita-area students.
