Your kids and their teachers may be just a few days removed from the end of their school year, but area business associations in Door County hope you start thinking about the fall while you are out shopping. The county’s business associations in Baileys Harbor, Carlsville, Door County North, Sister Bay, Sturgeon Bay, Ephraim, Egg Harbor, and Fish Creek are collaborating on their “Support the Door – School Supplies Drive” that is going on now through August. This is a follow-up to an earlier year effort that collected thousands of items for area food pantries. Destination Sturgeon Bay’s Alexa Soto says business association leaders went straight to teachers to learn their greatest needs heading into the fall.

There are drop-off locations throughout the county where you can submit your donations for the school supplies drive. If you are from outside the area and cannot donate in person, click this link to send items in.
