Radford schools ask for back to school supplies

RADFORD (WSLS 10) - It is almost August, and that means back to school for many kids in the area.

The 10 Cares McDonald's Back to School Supplies Drive is now in full swing. We are collecting donations at 55 southwest Virginia McDonald's locations.

Radford school leaders said Friday that with nearly half of the student population on the free or reduced lunch list, school supplies can be an even bigger challenge.

They are asking for the community to come together to help their students.

The 10 Cares McDonald's Back to School Supplies Drive goes until August 7th.
