School Supplies and Uniform Drive to benefit the Children of Chester

Chris Lott and Ashley Kleckner, HHS Seniors, are running the
School Supplies Drive as their senior project.

3rd Annual School Supplies Drive  
Has Begun
The Andrew L. Hicks Jr. Foundation is conducting its 
Third Annual School Supplies Drive to benefit the children of Chester from 
July 30 - August 24, 2012.

In addition, this year like last year, we will also be running a School Uniform Drive simultaneously. This combination effort will provide the essential materials for children (Grades K - 5) in order to prepare them adequately for their academic year. The supplies will be designated for the children at six primary schools located in Chester: Widener Partnership Charter School , Chester Community Charter School , Chester Upland School of the Arts, Frederick Douglass Christian School , Columbus Elementary School , and Chester Charter School of the Arts. Since uniforms are required at each of these schools, the Foundation will be accepting donations as well, in order to provide for the children whose families do not have the funds to purchase the uniforms.

Drop off points are:
Chris Lott's home - 939 Baylowell Drive, West Chester Pennsylvania  
(located near Henderson High School )
Ashley Kleckner's home - 942 Greystone Drive, West Chester Pennsylvania (located near Henderson High School
Rhondda Pool - 525 Carmarthen Drive , Exton Pennsylvania
The Hicks' home - 914 Kenmara Drive, West Chester Pennsylvania
The Bowling Palace - Downingtown , Pennsylvania
West Chester Golf and Country Club - New Street and Asbridge, West Chester , Pennsylvania
The Learning Express - 187 W. Lincoln Ave. #300 Exton , Pennsylvania .

The prices of the uniforms are approximately $20 for a school uniform consisting of a collared shirt, khaki pants, and a belt. Donations will be accepted in check form, made out to Andrew L. Hicks Jr. Foundation and should be mailed to Karen Hicks at 914 Kenmara Drive, West Chester, PA 19380 with "Uniform Drive" written on the memo line of the check. Donations can also be accepted through Pay Pal by clicking here and through the Foundation's website with " Uniform Drive " typed into the message area.
