By Sam Waller

Deadline to register students for ResourceCare’s Adopt-A-Buddy program is Friday, Aug. 5.

The Adopt-A-Buddy program helps provide school supplies for Shackelford County children.

Application forms are available at the front desk at the Resource Center. Forms should be returned to ResourceCare by the end of the workday on Aug. 5.

The Adopt-A-Buddy program benefits not just elementary students, but junior high and high school ages can also apply.

Older students will receive basic paper, spiral notebooks, pens, pencils, and highlighters. Elementary students will also be given crayons and backpacks.

“Donations are welcome,” ResourceCare’s Makenzie Marshall said. “If anybody wants to donate for school supplies or give actual school supplies, they can bring them to ResourceCare.”

Supplies will be distributed  9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 11 and Friday, Aug. 12 at the Youth Center.
