Back to school before you know it, Community Lending Shelf asks for your help

With back-to-school season just around the corner, the Community Lending Shelf is calling on local businesses and residents to help support students in need.

They’re collecting new, travel-sized hygiene items, like toothpaste, deodorant, and shampoo, along with new socks and underwear in kids’ and teen sizes.

Donations will be used to build kits for local youth, giving them a confident, healthy start to the school year.

Drop-offs can be made anytime at 4829 50th Street, or contact them for larger donations.

For details or contact information, visit the Community Lending Shelf – Olds on Facebook.
