The Owl Bookstore held a supply drive starting in August that will conclude at the end of this month.
The drive provides students with supplies such as pens, pencils, index cards, notebooks and anything that a student would commonly need.
Bookstore manager Jon Bennett said that people can donate $1-3 to their transaction to put towards receiving the supplies.
“They can also bring in any supplies that they have currently and donate that,” Bennett said.
When donating, people can fill out an owl with their name and place it on the wall inside the bookstore. So far, 50 people have donated and placed an owl on the wall.
“There have been some people who didn’t want to fill out an Owl,” Bennett said.
At the end of October, the Bookstore will donate the money received to a department on campus.
Although the supply drive is coming to an end this month, it will pick up again in January and last until the end of April.
The bookstore is hoping for a bigger turnout when the supply drive picks up again in two months. In fact, they are hoping to place the Owls people fill out on the glass outside of the bookstore for more people to see.
This might also aid in more people discovering there is a supply drive where they can donate and receive supplies.
