School supplies for local kids

The farmers market is partnering with a local organization colloquially known as the masons to make sure all local kids start the school year with the school supplies they need.

The school has identified what items the kids need and how many kids need help accessing the items. The masons have put up boxes around the area to collect supplies. You can find at a box at the New Lebanon library and Maverick's, for example.

But we thought it would be just as easy to collect money to buy the school supplies. Will you sponsor a student? We've set up a few options.
