Gulf State Community Bank collecting school supplies

Local students will return to school soon, and some may not have the school supplies they need unless you are willing to help. Gulf State Community Bank is collecting school supplies for children who need them. There are collection boxes at the entrances of all Gulf State Bank locations where you can leave your donations. Supplies can range from notebooks and pens for older students to construction paper and paste for the younger kids. No.2 Pencils are always useful as are Index Cards, scissors, Loose Leaf Paper and even Hand Sanitizer. Once the supplies have been collected they will be distributed to the Franklin County school, where they will then be given to the students who need them most. The bank says they will continue taking school supply donations until at least the end of August - school opens for students on August the 24th.
