Hundreds of pens, pencils, notebooks and backpacks were collected for area students during the third annual Stuff the Studio.
Local residents visited the Blackburn Media mobile studio on Wednesday, August 12 to drop off donations in support of the Inn of the Good Shepherd.
About 455 pounds of school supplies and $3,682.15 was raised for the Inn.
Executive Director Jack Christine, said that will help out hundreds of local elementary and secondary students.
"So last year we distributed 960 and we're hoping to do over 1,000 to kids in the community," he said.
Backpacks will be distributed later this month, in time for the start of the new school year.
"We have backpack pickups at Temple Baptist Church on Saturday, August 29 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., and we also have a distribution event at the Inn of the Good Shepherd at 115 John Street on Wednesday, September 2 and Wednesday, September 3 from 9:30 to 11 a.m.", said Christine.
If you missed the donation drive, back-to-school supplies can still be dropped at the Inn.
