A group working to collect school supplies for Escambia County students in need will be passing out vouchers to parents over the next week.

Parents can pick up vouchers at Brooks Memorial Baptist Church in Atmore; Flomaton First Baptist Church; Little Escambia Baptist Church; Liberty Baptist Church; Alco Baptist Church; East Brewton Baptist Church; and Zion Hill Baptist Church from 10 a.m. until noon.

Supplies include: Fiskars Scissors; Crayola Crayons (24 ct.); Wide Rule Paper; #2 Pencils; glue (liquid or stick); plastic pocket folders with prongs; “Pink” erasers; Crayola Washable Markers; Construction Paper; composition book.
