Windstream hosts nationwide school supply drive for students
16 July 2018 - 4:30PM
Windstream (NASDAQ:WIN), a leading provider of advanced network
communications, announced today that a back-to-school supply
donation drive will take place July 16 through Aug. 17. Windstream
retail stores will serve as a drop-off point to collect donated
school supplies and other classroom materials.
As the new school year approaches, the National Retail
Federation estimates that families will spend an average of $674 on
needed back-to-school supplies and clothing.
“Windstream is committed to giving back to the communities we
serve,” said Jeff Auman, senior vice president of consumer and
small and medium-sized business sales at Windstream. “This school
supply drive will provide many less fortunate children with the
essential supplies they need to be successful in school.”
Students’ and teachers’ wish lists include basic school
supplies, such as paper, crayons, scissors, pencils, pens, glue,
markers, folders and erasers, as well as other items used in
classrooms every day, such as tissues and hand sanitizer.
As part of Windstream's continued involvement in the community,
anyone that goes to a retail store during the school supply drive
can enter to win a Chromebook 11. A donation is not required to
enter the drawing.
