These are difficult times for many local families as they struggle to manage the rising costs for everyday needs. As a new school year approaches, students and staff at Rochester Memorial School could use some help with classroom supplies. To that end, the Rochester Democratic Town Committee is coordinating a collection of supplies to be donated to RMS. It’s easy to help.
The drive runs for two weeks, August 17 through 31. Collection boxes are located at the following locations: Rochester Town Hall (conference room), Plumb Memorial Library and Lloyd’s Market, 8 Hartley Road.
Requested items are posted on each box and include No. 2 pencils, erasers, colored pencils, crayons, glue sticks, Sharpies, dry-erase markers, highlighters and Post-it notes. Also, tissues, paper towels, Chap Stick, Band-Aids, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, baby wipes, underwear and sweatpants.
Thank you for your generosity as we work together to support our community.
