Hillsborough tax office seeks school supplies
TAMPA — The Hillsborough County Tax Collector’s Office is supporting the Hillsborough Education Foundation by hosting a school supply drive throughout the month of July.
All Tax Collector’s offices will serve as donation drop-off locations. Donates supplies will be , distributed through the foundation’s Teaching Tools Store. The store provides free supplies to teachers across the county, with special emphasis on supporting educators from schools serving underprivileged communities.
Last year’s drive resulted in over 27,000 donated items from tax office employees and community members. These supplies directly benefited teachers and students throughout Hillsborough County’s public schools, particularly those in areas where families face financial challenges in preparing for the school year.
Most needed supply items include:
• Pencils and pens
• Notebooks and composition books
• Crayons, markers, and colored pencils
• Glue sticks and scissors
• Folders and binders
• Backpacks
• Hand sanitizer and tissues
