Greater Nevada Credit Union invites the public to donate school supplies to help students and teachers in the classroom.
Greater Nevada Credit Union is gathering school supplies as part of its Greater School Supplies Drive.
In its third year, the drive aims to address the needs of students who may lack the necessary supplies to succeed in the classroom.
To participate in the Greater Schools Supplies Drive, bring new items to any GNCU branch or Greater Nevada Mortgage’s Carson City and Sparks locations through Friday, Aug. 11.
Items needed include rulers, carpet squares, scissors, highlighters, hand-held calculators, post-it notes, markers, pencils, pens, magnets, personal hygiene items (toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo), colored pencils, paintbrushes, decorations, glue sticks, notebooks, paper (construction, lined, colored).
If participants prefer to make monetary donations, GNCU encourages donations to the Carson Valley Food Closet, Communities in Schools of Nevada, Carson City Schools Foundation, Education Alliance of Washoe County, or the Food Bank of Northern Nevada.
