WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. — It’s never too early to start your back-to-school shopping. That’s why the Winter Springs Police Department is hosting a school supply drive.

The police department warmly welcomes donations of new and unopened school supplies to help students get what they need for the upcoming school year.

There will be three pickup locations:

  • Winter Springs Police Department: 300 N. Moss Rd.
  • The Oaks at Tuscawilla: 1500 Winter Springs Blvd.
  • City Hall: 1126 East S.R. 434

“It is a pretty big need. There’s always a need for supplies for some of our disadvantaged students,” said city spokesman Matt Reeser.

The collection will go through July 31.

The city has shared that plain backpacks are the most requested item.
