Portage Learning Centers Head Start program recently received a large donation of school supplies to be used at the centers housed throughout Portage County.
The Kent State Honors College freshmen and the Alumni Chapter Service Project hosted a "Tools for Learning" donation drive in order to obtain school supplies such as markers, crayons, books and many more items in order to benefit the children in the Portage County Head Start program.
Becky Gares, coordinator of Advising and Alumni Relations, helped coordinate the drive along with the Honors College Alumni Chapter. The 400 Honors College freshmen donated the school supplies during their Welcome Cookout held recently.
The supplies donated were valued at close to $1,000 and will be put to use in the classrooms as learning tools for children ages 3 to 5.
For more information about this donation drive or to make a donation, contact Valerie Fiala, Outreach Coordinator for Portage Learning Centers, at 330-297-7795.
