Wilmington-based AAA Mid-Atlantic will collect school supplies through September 15 at more than 60 AAA locations including its retail and car care centers.
The campaign, “Building Blocks to Support Our Future Members,” encourages AAA associates, members and the general public to donate new, unused school supplies. Some of the most urgently needed supplies include pencils, composition books and folders. The local schools supported by the collection drive are chosen by AAA associates and after the donations are collected, AAA associates will deliver the supplies to their chosen school.
“AAA cares deeply about the communities in which we live and serve,” says Jim Lardear, director of public and government affairs. “AAA aims to ensure that students have what they need when they get to school, which takes pressure off children and families and gets the school year started right.”
Donations collected by AAA locations in Delaware will support Claymont Elementary, Jennie E. Smith Elementary (Newark) and Hartly Elementary (Hartly).
AAA members and the general public are invited to participate by bringing new and unwrapped school supplies to the following AAA locations in Delaware:
- Christiana 1201 Churchman’s Rd., Newark, DE, 19713
- Dover 124 Greentree Dr, Dover, DE, 19904
- Wilmington One River Place, Wilmington, DE, 19801
