The North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles Bladen County Customer Contact Center held its annual school supply drive from July 25 through August 4 and collected more than 4,000 school supplies!

Over the years, the Bladen County Customer Contact Center has collected on average 12 boxes (copy paper size) of supplies each year. Items collected for the supply drive were spiral notebooks, composition books, pens, pencils, pencil boxes, crayons, colored pencils, markers, erasers, pocket folders, tissue boxes, hand sanitizers, sanitizing wipes, and backpacks.

In 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 school supplies were also donated to the Bladen County Board of Education to ensure students and teachers have what they need for an excellent academic school year.

Following this year’s drive, 39 boxes of back-to-school supplies were delivered to the Bladen County Board of Education.

Items collected were the highest when compared to prior years as the smallest donations will make the biggest difference this school year.
