Milton's Better Together Volunteers Collect Notebook Paper

Even in today's digital times, students can't do all of their school work without notebook paper. So Milton's Better Together volunteer organization is partnering with non-profit North Fulton Community Charities (NFCC) throughout July and early August to collect notebook paper for local children in dire need of school supplies.

Residents who wish to pitch-in may drop supplies off at Milton's City Hall between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., said volunteer Teri Harrison, who is leading the effort.

Residents may also arrange for pickup of larger donations by emailing Wayne Boston, community builder for the City of Milton, or calling him at 678-242-2512.

All supplies must be collected by Aug. 5 to ensure distribution to students, said Boston.

"Without groups like Better Together, we wouldn't be able to respond to the needs of the community," said Eden Purdy of NFCC. "We hope residents will be able to help start a local student off right this year."

Better Together is a volunteer organization of Milton residents looking for unique and fun ways to connect with neighbors.  If you would like more information on Better Together or any of its activities, please email Boston or call him at 678-242-2512.
