State Senator Jil Tracy (R-Quincy), Representative Kyle Moore (R-Quincy), and Representative C.D. Davidsmeyer (R-Murrayville) would like to thank community members for their overwhelming generosity during their first Back-to-School Supplies Drive, which wrapped up on August 8.

The drive collected numerous backpacks, lunch boxes, notebooks, pencils, and other classroom essentials, all of which were recently distributed to schools across their districts ahead of the first day of class.

“We are so grateful to the families, businesses, and organizations who stepped up to support local students,” said Senator Tracy. “Because of this effort, many children will be walking into classrooms this year with confidence, ready to learn.”

Representative Moore noted the strong community response, saying “We’re humbled by the generosity of our community. Each donation represents an investment in a child’s future, and I couldn’t be more proud of how our community came together.”

Representative Davidsmeyer added, “We know times are tough for many families, but together we’ve shown what can happen when a community pulls together. These supplies will ease financial stress and help kids focus on learning.”

The lawmakers said they hope to build on this momentum and continue making the drive an annual tradition.
