It's that time of year when kids head back to school. For many parents that means school shopping.
NBC 5 is kicking off the back to school season with its annual Back to School Supply Drive.
New backpacks, notebooks, paper and pencils are just a few items on the back to school wish list.
With your help NBC 5 can help provide for students in need. On Friday, August 24 donors can drop off school supplies from 4:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the NBC 5 Plaza located at 401 North Michigan Avenue or at the Intercontinental Hotel at 505 N. Michigan Ave. or Daymark Realty at 525 W Van Buren St.
All supplies will be donated to students in need.
