This is the last week for KDOM’s School Supply Drive. We have had a great response thus far but we really need the Communities help to drive those supplies up to the maximum. We have boxes at HyVee, Schwalbach Ace Hardware and at the KDOM Studios. If you aren’t a shopper, but would like to make a donation, the staff at KDOM will do the shopping for you! We take cash, checks and even if you would like to call in with a debit or credit card donation we will accept that too! Last day to make a donation will be Thursday August 31st. We will be distributing supplies on Friday, September 1st to the Schools. Please consider helping us help make this a great school year for all kids and teachers in our listening area!
