Volunteers needed for Aiken School Supply Drive

Staff Report

Tuesday, July 12th, 2022

Chandler Law Firm and Alison South Marketing Group are asking for the public’s help to provide school supplies to students in need on Saturday, Aug. 6. Volunteers are needed to set up tents and tables, direct traffic, hand out supplies and refreshments and more. 

The 12th annual Fit 4 School will provide local students with school supplies, health screenings and haircuts by Aiken School of Cosmetology and Barbering. The event will be at the Aiken County Family YMCA, 621 Trolley Line Road, Graniteville, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (while supplies last).

School supplies will be handed out in a fast, easy drive-thru. Superheroes and fairy tale characters will be on hand, and Hungry No More will provide goodie bags filled with snacks. Free haircuts and health screenings will be provided inside the YMCA.

“Many of these children’s families cannot afford the supplies and services they need to return to school,” Aiken attorney Everett Chandler said. “We are happy to be able to provide them and would like to thank all the sponsors for their support.”
