American Legion Auxiliary in Katy Seeking School Supplies Donations for Local Children
The start of the new school year is just around the corner. As families across the Katy area are already beginning to shop for school supplies, many children whose families are struggling are worried if they will get the supplies they need to be prepared for the first day of school.
That's why the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 164 has worked alongside the American Legion Post 164 over the last several years to help bridge the gap. The ALA provides backpacks to area students who are in need, thanks to generous donations of school supplies from residents and businesses in the Katy area. This year, the ALA is requesting solid colored backpacks containing folders, composition notebooks, earbuds, pencil boxes with pencils, pink erasers, markers, crayons, black dry erase markers and facial tissues.
