State Sen. Heather Steans, state Rep. Kelly Cassidy and Ald. Harry Osterman are collecting school supplies for low-income children in the neighborhood. The fourth annual “Sponsor-a-student” is a partnership with Care for Real-Edgewater’s food and clothing pantry, and other local non-profits to provide school supplies for children in Rogers Park, Edgewater and Uptown.
Donors will sign up to sponsor a student and will receive either an elementary school or high school bag. The bags cost $75 on average, but less expensive lists are available as well. The drive lasts through Aug. 19.
