Giant Eagle to Hold Campaign Benefitting Swissvale, Wilkins Schools

Anyone shopping at Giant Eagle for the next several weeks can help students in two Woodland Hills School District elementary schools.

Through Sept. 4, Giant Eagle is conducting its fifth annual in-store donation campaign in 50 supermarkets throughout southwestern 
Pennsylvania.  At the checkout, customers will be invited to donate $1 or more to The Education Partnership to provide local kids in need with the basic, core supplies for learning.

The Education Partnership, a non-profit organization that provides school supplies to local children in need, has selected 23 schools to receive school supplies for the 2013-2014 school year. Among those schools are Dickson Elementary and Wilkins Primary.

Participating schools will receive free school and classroom supplies to equip a student and classroom for an entire school year. Teachers will be invited to The Education Partnership’s Resource Center multiple times during the school year to receive supplies for themselves and their students. The organizations also will visit each school during the holiday season for a special student distribution.
