Summary
Join 101.9 The Wave's Gear Up for Grades School Supply Drive thanks to Brian Wear Plumbing! Throughout the month of July, we will be out at area Hy-Vee locations to collect school supplies for the Columbia and Jefferson City Public School Districts.
Each school year, teachers and families get their kids ready for school with backpacks, pencils, markers, and more!
This year, like every year, some Mid-Missouri families will struggle to afford school supplies. Some of our neighbors may have to make the difficult choice between buying supplies for school and paying for groceries, utilities, and other bills.
In addition, teachers in our area will do what they can to help their students who do not have enough and teachers often pay for supplies out of their own pockets.
This is where we come in. We’re here to help offset those costs with our 2025 Gear Up For Grades supply drive.
