Partners Family Services is now accepting donations for its annual school supply drive.

“We’re collecting basic supplies for families in need, just to make sure their kids are ready for school,” family support services coordinator Crystal Perkins said.

Not having the supplies they need can hinder children’s education and self-confidence, she said.

People can drop off supplies such as markers, crayons and glue sticks in the donation bin at the Partners office at 905 5th Avenue.
