St. Pete Is Having A School Supply Drive For Students In Need

If you have a student that needs school supplies, a recreation center in St. Pete is having a school supply drive for students in need. Believe it or not, we are less than a month away from the first day of school! You have probably seen the isles of Target or Walmart preparing for school supplies to line their shelves. But let's face it, school supplies are expensive, and many families struggle to get their children prepared for school. 

Thankfully the City of St. Petersburg's Bay Vista Recreation Center is hosting a school supply drive. Their goal is to help students entering Kindergarten through 8th grade get ready for this upcoming school year.

On August 10th from 1pm-4pm, the Bay Vista Recreation Center is hosting a Backpack Giveaway event. In addition to receiving supplies, families can enjoy bounce houses, music, and free food. What a fun way to kick off the school year! To be eligible to receive school supplies, families must simply register online before August 1. But unfortunately, as of July 22nd, the registration list is full. You can sign up for the waitlist, which is only at 16 people.

If you would like to help with this event, the recreation center is accepting new item donations from now until July 31, Monday-Thursday 8am-8pm. The supplies they are requesting are backpacks, folders, notebook paper, pencils, pens, crayons, markers, glue sticks, rulers, and scissors. Let's help this school year be the best one yet! The rec center is located at 7000 4th Street South in St. Pete.
