BACK-TO-SCHOOL DRIVE 2023

AUGUST 4TH & AUGUST 5TH

Donate supplies to children in need or join us as a volunteer at any Walmart store in Champaign County for our annual Back-to-School Donation Drive, to benefit the local children and teachers.

The back-to-school season can place a tremendous burden on families, especially for those parents hit hard by inflation, making them choose between paying rent, buying food, or purchasing school supplies for their children.

• Shoppers can purchase supplies and drop off in the collection bin at the front of the store.
• All donations collected in Champaign County will be distributed to local families to ensure more kids will enter the school year prepared to succeed.
