The Jefferson City Area YMCA is sponsoring a back-to-school supply drive to help local children have everything they need to have a successful school year.

School supply items can be dropped off through Aug. 4 at any of the three YMCA locations: Firley Y at 525 Ellis Blvd., Knowles Y at 424 Stadium Blvd., and West Y at 3507 Amazonas Drive.

The items will be delivered to local schools to be given to children. A list of suggested school supplies is online at jcymca.org. Monetary donations will also be accepted at any YMCA service desk.
