For the ninth consecutive year, University Methodist Church will hold a school-supply drive to help local children in need begin the school year with backpacks and supplies.
The church is partnering with Operation New Life, Chapel Hill Training-Outreach Project, the Chapel Hill Police Department and the Department of Social Services for the drive. Shopping lists for each grade are available at chapelhilluumc.org. School supplies will be collected at the church through Aug. 12.
