Pamela Tegge, Edward Jones financial advisor in the Swannanoa community, is supporting local schools by using the Edward Jones office as a drop-off location for a school supplies drive. Local residents and businesses may help those less fortunate in the community by bringing in items to the Edward Jones Swannanoa branch office at 2358 U.S. Highway 70, Suite C, during regular business hours through September 6. The items needed for the school supply drive include: #2 pencils, notebook paper, crayons (24 count), colored pencils, large glue sticks, safety scissors, pocket folders, spiral notebooks, boxes of tissues, white copy paper, zippered plastic bags, or other items of your choice.
