Teachers face challenges every year getting things ready for the classroom, and this year they need help more than ever.

The Elkhart Education Foundation says you can donate supplies to the Elkhart School Supply Store, which provides those items to teachers at no cost.

They’re asking businesses and churches to put school bus collection boxes in their buildings through the end of August, where items will be collected and donated to classrooms in need.
