We want to make it easy for area businesses and organizations to sign up to be a partner for our annual Red for Ed school supply drive. This year, we’ve created an online store filled with more than 50 items that will help Lake County Schools students and teachers in the upcoming school year.

People can visit the store to choose which items they want to donate. Their purchase will be shipped directly to our warehouse and we’ll distribute the supplies to the Apple-Mart stores where teachers can get what they need for free. Some supplies will also go directly to needy students so they can start the school year ready to learn.

Our partner, Th@T! Company created this video to show you step-by-step how to sign up and to start letting the community know that you support our schools. After watching the video, be sure to go to our Red For Ed partner area to complete your registration.
