As school nears many families are planning for their children’s supply needs. Being prepared for school with a backpack and school supplies may come easy for some, but not for others. Last year we again raised over $3,500 in school supplies donated to the area schools! Here’s an opportunity to help a child in need by participating in Border State Bank’s OPERATION: School Supplies and give a child the tools he or she needs to excel in school this year.

The 4th annual Border State Bank Operation: School Supplies will collect school supplies all to be donated to your local elementary school. Specific supplies are needed such as pencils, glue sticks, box of 8, 16, and 64 Crayola crayons, pencil boxes, washable markers (box of 8), Fiskar for Kids scissors, wide lined notebooks, folders, erasers, highlighters, blue and black pens, colored pencils, pencil sharpeners, rulers, backpacks.

Donations are welcome at your local Border State Bank until Friday, August 19th, when employees will be delivering all supplies to the schools. All donations received locally will support and be donated to the school where the Border State Bank is located (Badger, Baudette, Greenbush/Middle River, and Roseau). All donations will be distributed by the local schools. Open to everyone; need not be a Border State Bank customer to donate or participate. If you have questions, please contact any local Border State Bank.
