Rumpke Waste & Recycling is hosting a community school supplies drive to help Montgomery County Schools students for the upcoming school year.
Starting Monday, July 27, through Sunday, Aug. 2, Rumpke will place collection bins at the following locations:
Supplies should be limited to the following:
“Montgomery County Schools is a crucial part of the community, and providing students with basic school supplies is a simple way for Rumpke to help,” said Adam Rumpke, region vice president. “Following the recent announcement that federal funding can no longer cover the costs of supplies for students, we knew we had to do something. This impacts so many of our team members, neighbors and the overall community.”
Rumpke team members are also hosting an internal collection drive and the company has pledged to make a financial contribution to assist with purchasing additional supplies, a release said.
"Montgomery County Schools extends its deepest appreciation to Rumpke for stepping up to support our schools, students and families," said Stephanie Harris, superintendent. "With the expiration of federal COVID-19 relief funds, the school district is no longer able to provide school supplies for all students like we have in recent years. Rumpke's monetary contribution and their dedicated supply drive will directly help to bridge that gap. Their commitment to our schools means our families won't carry this burden alone, and it ensures our students have the essential tools they need to succeed. Because of incredible community partners like Rumpke, Montgomery County Schools is able to cultivate excellence in all that we do!"
