The Tools for Schools drive ensures supplies can be given to local children in need before school starts. The goal of this drive is to help all students begin the year with the tools needed for success.
Folks in Niceville can help Sharing and Caring in it’s annual “Tools for Schools” drive on Saturday by helping to “Cram the Van” with school supplies. The van will be at the Niceville Walmart on July 20, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
