Donations benefit the Education Resource Center at The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools, which aims to support local teachers by ensuring they have the necessary resources, at no cost, to provide a quality education to their students.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Foundation for this important cause,” said Noelle Branning, Lee County Tax Collector and FLCPS Executive Board Member. “We know how much of their own money teachers spend on classroom supplies. Supporting our teachers means investing in our children and our community.”
For those who cannot make it into an office to drop off supplies, the Foundation has an Amazon Wishlist where items can be purchased and directly shipped to the Education Resource Center.
