Our goal is to gather enough school supplies to ensure the needs of children are met through the end of this school year. Participating chamber members will ask their employees to contribute to this campaign by collecting items at their businesses. But the public is encouraged to participate as well. Collection sites for the public are the Chamber of Commerce office in Archdale, 213 Balfour Drive; NC State Employees Credit Union, 10305 N Main Street, Archdale; Nattie’s Frozen Creations, 101 Bonnie Place, Suite O, Archdale, Randolph Community College, Archdale Campus, 110 Park Drive; and the Braxton Craven School, 7037 NC Hwy 62, Trinity. At the conclusion of the campaign, items will be consolidated and distributed to children with these needs. All items collected in the Archdale-Trinity area will be distributed here. Items needed include: Book Bags (no wheels), 3-ring binders, wide-ruled notebook paper, pencils, pens (black, blue and red ink), colored pencils, crayons, glue and glue sticks, composition notebooks, student scissors, folders, markers and rulers. We encourage you to support this project of the Chamber’s Education Committee and help students when it is most needed.
