After picking up my free supplies at CVS earlier this week, I stopped by Deals and noticed that they were collecting school supplies for needing children. I immediately went to my car, grabbed the items from CVS, and placed them in the box. Do you know of other places collecting school supplies? Please list them in the comments form below.
