Warren Lasko Memorial School Supply Drive

Thank You 2006 Montgomery County Business Sponsors!

The Warren Lasko Memorial School Supply Drive* is a collaborative effort with Montgomery County businesses, their employees and patrons, local organizations and congregations. Annually, this program provides essential school supplies for 1,200 to 1,500 low-income youth residing in HOC subsidized housing. Every July and August, participants hold supply drives or donate funds, backpacks and supplies towards this effort. This campaign is a shining example of a joint corporate and community partnership in meeting a significant need in our community.
