Before the new school year gets underway, state Rep. Patrick Sheehan, R-Lockport, is hosting a school supply drive for local students.
The back-to-school supply drive is ongoing, with donations of essential schools supplies being accepted at Sheehan’s district office, 15746 S. Bell Road, in Homer Glen during regular business hours.
“By coming together, we can help relieve the financial burden on families and make sure students in need have the tools they need to succeed,” Sheehan said in a news release. “Every backpack, notebook and pencil donated makes a real difference.”
The district office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Fridays.
All donated supplies will be distributed to students in need throughout the 37th District, which includes portions of Lockport, Homer Glen, Joliet, New Lenox, Mokena, Frankfort, Tinley Park, Orland Park and Orland Hills.
