Project RISE has families that are in need of uniforms, shoes and school supplies to get through this school year.
Those able to donate school uniforms are encouraged to donate boys and girls sizes 7, 8, 10 and 12 in pants, shirts and sweaters (plus and husky sizes are always needed). Approved school uniform colors include navy blue, black, khaki and white for polos without logos.
New and gently used items are accepted, and gently used clothing must be cleaned and on hangers.
For shoes for children and youths, residents are encouraged to donate dress, casual and athletic shoes of all sizes. School supplies of all types are sought.
Contact Megan Heavrin at [email protected] or (330) 761-2969 with questions and to make arrangements for drop-off. After arrangements have been made, donations to Project RISE may be taken to Akron Public Schools Administration Building, 70 N. Broadway St., Room 300, in downtown Akron.
