The goal: get 3,000 students ages 5-17 prepared for school with all the supplies they need.

So what do we need?

We need you!

The Preston Mitchum Jr. Foundation's annual "Back-to-School Drive" is underway.

There are several places you can drop off donations. Students need new pencils, notebooks, backpacks, composition books, lunch boxes, markers, pens, binders and anything else they may need in the classroom. There are donation locations all across the Baltimore area. Check those out here.

Or you can make a monetary donation here and know that money will be spent on making sure students have what they need.

Past back-to-school drives have helped students with the Middle River Boys and Girls Club, Anna's House in Bel Air, James Mosher Baseball League, Lansdowne Elementary School, YWCA Domestic Violence Shelter in Annapolis, The Salvation Army, and Baltimore City and County Departments of Social Services.
