M.A.R.T. school
resource drive
under way
The Madison Area Resource
team is sponsoring its seventh-
annual “Madison County Back
to School Supply Drive” in June
and July.
A back-to-school rally for low-
income families will be held
Thursday, July 30, at the Madison
County Freshman Academy
cafeteria (old middle school).
The rally will consist of a hot
dog supper, entertainment and
family enrichment information
booths. As last year, the basic
school supplies collected during
the drive will be handed out to the
school age children at the rally.
The remaining supplies collected
will be divided and distributed to
each of the schools in Madison
County where school officials
will distribute to students on an
as-needed basis.
"We cannot do this alone,"
organizers said. “Therefore, we
are asking the area churches, local
businesses and organizations to
participate. How can you help? You
may establish/sponsor a school
supplies drop-off location, or you
may want to send a monetary
donation toward the collection of
supplies or the event. All donations
are appreciated.”
Donations can be sent to
the Madison County Family
Connection office at P.O. Box
1034, Danielsville, GA 30633,
and made payable to: M.A.R.T.
- Back to School Supply Drive.
Also, donated supplies may
be dropped off at the Family
Connection Office or any county
extension office at 103 Sunset
Drive in Danielsville.

Melton, coordinator, at 706-795-
