Bartell Drugs welcomes donations of school supplies for its 11th annual “School Tools for Kids in Need,” Aug. 10-30 at Bartell’s 63 locations, including Kent at 12946 SE Kent-Kangley Road and Auburn at 3902 A St. SE.

The drive supports students in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties through World Vision’s Teacher Resource Center in Fife.

With the new school year approaching, donated school supplies help re-stock the Teacher Resource Center where teachers “shop” free of charge for school supplies to assist qualifying students.

According to Federal Way-based World Vision, a globally-known charitable organization, as many as 58,000 local students could begin the school year without the basic school supplies.

A “basic needs” list of suggested donation items found in Bartell’s “School Aisles” include:

• Dixon No. 2 Pencils, 8 Count
• Bic Cristal or Stic Round Ink Pens – 10 pack. Blue or Black
• Elmer’s Glue – School Glue/4 oz. bottles
• Scotch Kids’ Scissors – pointed or blunt
• Avery Glue Stic – Acid-free, photo-safe, permanent and washable
• Avery Poly Binders – 1″ size
• Crayola Crayons – 16 count

• Crayola Colored Pencils – 12 count
• Tops Filler Paper 150 count, Wide or College
• Datex Handheld Calculator
