We’re almost half-way through July, and people are already thinking about back-to-school events. Tracy Tucker at State Farm has announced that her office is now accepting school supplies and clothes for the Kearney School District’s Back to School Resource Fair this fall.

The Kearney School District’s annual Back to School Resource Fair features school supplies, backpacks, gently used clothing and other community resources for students in need. The event is designed to ensure that every child in the district has the support they need to thrive in the upcoming school year.

Tracy Tucker has volunteered her office as a drop-off location for new and gently used items for years, and this year is no exception. Tracy's State Farm Office will be available as a drop off site for donations between 9 am and 5 pm from July 15 through August 2. The address is 751 Watson Drive, Suite D in Kearney.

SCHOOL SUPPLY DONATIONS – All students who attend the resource fair get brand new school supplies to help start their school year off just like any other student.

CLOTHING DONATIONS – New and gently used clothes are needed for families. Items for school-age children are particularly important. Kearney High School spirit gear is always appreciated. It is requested that donations of underwear, socks and shoes be new items only.
