Volunteer Ascensions 20th annual School Tools Drive kicks off July 14 with the Corporate Challenge.

All parish businesses, industry, organizations and local municipalities are challenged to collect and drop off school supplies or donations at the school bus in the EATEL Corp. parking lot at 406 E. Worthey Road in Gonzales from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 14.

Community members can drop off school supplies in Volunteer Ascension boxes in front of the Gonzales and Donaldsonville Walmart stores from 8 a.m. to noon July 15.

Each year, we are amazed at the way our community comes together to make this program such a huge success," said Sherry Denig, executive director of Volunteer Ascension. Its so heartwarming to even see young children placing bags of school supplies in a collection barrel. Even at their tender age, they get how important it is to help others.
