Roanoke City Schools expecting greater need for supply donations this year
ROANOKE, Va. โ Roanoke City school leaders are emphasizing the need for school supplies ahead of the upcoming school year.

This is something the district does each year, but there is expected to be a big need this year. โWith quarantine and many of our parents being out of work, we believe that the need will be greater than itโs ever been,โ said school district spokesperson Justin McLeod. While any school supplies are acceptable, backpacks are often what many families struggle to afford more because of the cost, McLeod said.
