We've been talking a lot about teacher discounts lately as we approach Target's big discount week and the upcoming Amazon Prime Days - how about we take a minute to think about donating some school supplies for local kids who may be in need.

I saw a post on social media the other day that said something along the lines of now that 4th of July is over, it's time to back to school shop, get the Halloween candy ready, oh and Merry Christmas too.  Sad as it is, summer is flying by already and the store shelves are stocked with back to school supplies.  While you are out and about doing shopping for your own kiddos, why not consider picking up some items to help local children in need as they prepare to go back to school this fall?

The 3rd Annual Supporting Our Schools Supply Drive is underway now, and donations are being accepted through August 18th.  You can find a list of requested items in the Raymour and Flanigan Poughkeepsie Showroom location (756 Vassar Road), and all supply drive items should also be dropped off to that location.
