school supplies

The first school bell will be ringing before we know it, and the St. Cloud Police Department wants to make sure students in need are ready to go.

As kids are heading back to school next week some of one them won't have the supplies they need to be successful.

Everything from notebooks to protractors were donated to help fill backpacks at a local church.

Hundreds of backpacks, pencils and notebooks were given away to make sure kids in St. Cloud had supplies for the school year.

The warm weather will soon become a fall breeze. As the seasons are changing parents will be getting their kids ready to go back to school.

Two St. Cloud couples are working together to raise money for the St. Cloud Salvation Army's Back to School Fundraiser. Ann Thelen and Mark Thelen along with Diana Murphy-Podawiltz and Mike Podawiltz will be donating a minimum of $3,000 with the goal of raising $6,000.

Catholic Charities of St. Cloud won't be holding a school supply drive or distribution program this year. The Salvation Army of St. Cloud is hoping to fill the void.

Catholic Charities is asking for your help to provide school supplies for local students. The Catholic Charities Back To School program donates school supplies to students who can't afford them.

Can you help us gather supplies for school kids?

It's that time of year again to start gearing up for back to school. The Salvation Army and Catholic Charities are collecting school supplies for their annual back to school drives.
