Disciples United Methodist Church in Mt. Morris is partnering with Midwest Mission to host a used/new school supplies collection drive.

Items can be dropped off anytime in the dropbox located by the front doors at 102 Maple Ave., Mt. Morris. The drive runs May 8 to June 20.

Each May, many gently used school supplies are cleaned out of desks and lockers and end up in the trash or clutter up the house. Items like notebooks with unused pages, extra pencils, crayons, rulers, folders and other supplies often still have life left in them.
