Join FDW as we support Fayette Factor’s Back To School Drive with needed school supplies July 12-24
The annual Back to School Drive-Through Expo is soon! Donations will be accepted starting on Monday July 12.
With your support, Fayette FACTOR will sponsor this event in partnership with the Fayette County Schools. Our goal this year is to provide 500 book bags filled with school supplies to economically vulnerable families.
Please help us to meet that goal.
Fayette FACTOR is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization which makes all donations to us tax-deductible.
We thank you in advance for your generous donations to help those in need in our community. Visit THIS LINK for a list of supplies requested. Note, we do not need any composition notebooks or paper (we have pallets of these items donated from Walmart). In kind donations and financial contributions will be acknowledged if donors provide contact information when dropping off donations.
