NBC4 and Telemundo 52 Los Angeles have launched the return of Supporting Our Schools donation drive from July 11-19. The stations are teaming up with Ralphs and Food 4 Less to provide homeless students in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura Counties with essential school supplies they need before school starts in the fall.
The public is invited to make a $1 or more donation at check-out when shopping at their local Ralphs and Food 4 Less supermarket – visit Ralphs.com and Food4Less.com to find a location near you.
All proceeds will go to School on Wheels to benefit K-12 students -- the nonprofit organization provides school supplies, tutoring and other educational services to children living in shelters, motels, vehicles, foster homes, and on the streets in Southern California.
