‘New Hanover for All’ hosting teacher supply drive, following cancellation of supply orders

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — A supply drive for New Hanover County teachers is being held Saturday.

This comes after the district recently announced the cancellation of future orders for supplies and equipment.

“These cuts put pressure on many classroom teachers whose supplies are running low at the end of the school year,” a statement said. “New Hanover for All realized that shortages will occur and have stepped in to help with the School Supply Donation drive.”

The event is taking place at the Walmart Supercenter off Market Street from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

Cleaning supplies, including Lysol wipes and spray, paper towels, and hand sanitizer, are especially in demand, organizers say.
