COLORADO SPRINGS — As KOAA and Chick-fil-A prepare to launch our back-to-school supplies campaign, News5 would like to know where you get your school supplies?
We are following this investigation throughout the day and until tomorrow. Tune in to News5 at 4:00 p.m. as we review the results!
Editor’s note: This survey is not based on representative scientific samples and is for KOAA purposes only.
KOAA News5 and Chick-Fil-A Back to School Supply Drive
KOAA News5 and Chick-fil-A are joining forces to ensure students in our area return to school with the school supplies they need.
From August 1st until August 15eyou can drop off donated school supplies at 6 Chick-fil-A in southeast Colorado.
With inflation driving up the costs of everyday items, families are feeling the pinch. School supplies can be particularly expensive.
You can help out by purchasing supplies from our suggested supplies list below, and when you visit Chick-fil-A before August 15, you’ll find a handy drop box right inside the store.
Thank you for supporting our students and teachers by providing them with the tools they need to succeed!
