Items needed for back to school

As schools around the area prepare to open their doors and begin the 2011 - 2012school year, many organizations and individuals ask the back-to-school needs of the children served by the Women's Resource Center of the New River Valley. We attempt to take inventory of the items that we have in stock and evaluate the items that our children still need. The following is what they still need. Any way you are able to help is appreciated by those served by our organization. However, if you have donations to bring to the Women’s Resource Center that are not on this list, we still welcome your donation. Please feel free to call us if you have any questions at (540) 639-9592.
