Free School Supplies For Village Residents

MANHATTAN, IL — The Village of Manhattan and Manhattan Township are partnering up to bring residents a free School Supply Swap from 5-7 p.m. Aug. 19 at Manhattan Township Building, 230 Wabash St.

Residents can drop off or donate unneeded school supplies, which will then be available to the public. Any leftover supplies will be donated to Manhattan School District 114 and St. Joseph School.

Advance donations can be dropped off at Manhattan Village Hall or Manhattan Township Building. Supplies can be put in the food pantry box, but should be labeled "supplies."

A donation is not required in order to pick up supplies.
