The Helping Hands Resource Center is wanting to help parents in that situation. Helping Hands have established three locations within Le Mars asking people to donate school supplies for under priviledged children. Jim Pluegger is with Helping
Hands.
Plueger says this is the third year Helping Hands Resource Center has extended this service. The Helping Hands official says the program will continue through the first week of school. He explains what is needed in terms of school supplies donations.
Plueger says there is an extra incentive to donate the school supplies at the Le Mars Pizza Ranch restaurant.
