Speaker urges donations to back-to-school drives at Walmart and other county locations
Summary
A meeting speaker encouraged residents to donate school supplies at Walmart and other drop-off points to help families in Saint Mary’s County ahead of the school year.
A speaker at a local meeting urged residents to donate back-to-school supplies at Walmart and other county donation bins to help families who may not be able to afford school materials.
The speaker described common donation points, saying “if it fits your budget, if you can do it when you're out at, you know, Walmart or or wherever you're doing some shopping... buy a couple of boxes of crayons and some, you know, number 2 pencils and just go through the back to school supplies.” The speaker added that paper is “always in high demand.”
The remarks encouraged residents to use store drop-off bins to leave supplies that local groups then distribute to families in need. The transcript includes the speaker’s personal reference to a granddaughter entering kindergarten at Town Creek Elementary School but does not record any county program changes or funding decisions tied to the donation drives.
