About the event
Help local students start the school year with confidence.
The Salvation Army has partnered with Ray's Food Place for a community-wide Back-to-School Supply Drive. Throughout the campaign, shoppers are invited to purchase new school supplies and donate them in the designated Salvation Army collection barrels located inside participating Ray's Food Place stores.
Every donated item helps provide local children with the essential supplies they need to begin the school year ready to learn and succeed.
