Savage Sponsoring School Drive for Area Students

The school drive will help students in Scott and Carver counties.

The time has come to start thinking about returning school. As the school supply lists start to come in, it is also a good time to hold a school supply drive.

The City of Savage has partnered with the Community Action Partnership of Scott, Carver and Dakota counties for the city’s annual school supply drive.

Donations of new school supply items are accepted starting Monday, July 15 until August 11.
