In the Saturday Aug. 18 issue of the Winston-Salem Journal, reporter Lisa O’Donnell writes about Noryn Alam, a Salem College freshman who has collected school supplies for kindergarten students in the school system.
Larry Sharpe, the program manager of the school system's social work department, told O’Donnell that the need for supplies has increased over the past few years. He likened the school system's challenge to meet the demand for supplies with food bank's challenge to keep their shelves stocked with food.
"The demand is so much more than the supply. You want kids to have what they need to get started in school," Sharpe told O’Donnell. "It's the little barriers that make a big difference."
