The White River Family Support Center is gearing up for its annual back-to-school event that serves families in need in the area.

The success of the event has always depended upon donations, but even more so now than in years past.

Any donations would be appreciated. Donations should be received at the center, located on the Wickersham Elementary School campus, 250 W. Main, Buckley, by Aug. 17. For more information or to make a donation, call 360-829-5883 or stop in at the center between 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
