From now until July 23, local businesses along the Highlands Corridor (Bardstown Rd. and Baxter Ave. area) are collecting much-needed school supplies and backpacks for the families of Family Scholar House. The drive is to ensure all the students at Family Scholar House have the tools they need to start the year off on the right foot.

Participating businesses in the Highlands Corridor are eyedia, Day’s Coffee, Kizito Cookies, The Wine Market, 502 Print and Copy, Old Town Liquor, William Dean Salon, New York Life, Zoom Group, Highland Cleaners, Your Yoga, Safety and Security, Highland-Shelby Park Library, Fante’s Coffee and Heine Brother’s Coffee. Just fill your backpack full of school supplies and drop off at any of these participating businesses.

On Sunday, July 23 from 4-6 p.m. at eyedia, 926 Baxter Ave., join Family Scholar House to celebrate the end of the drive. Food and drinks will be provided, and current parent scholars and graduates will be speaking about their experience with Family Scholar House. familyscholarhouse.org
