TCN Behavioral Health Services, Inc. has announced its annual School Supply Drive Distribution event for Urbana will be held Friday, August 4 from 4-6 p.m. at the 1522 E. U.S. Route 36 location in Urbana.

TCN annually collects school supplies and donations for the children in their service areas. In 2022 they provided supplies to more than 300 children and hope to expand that reach in 2023. The distribution event includes free pizza and beverages as well as school supplies while supplies last.

“New school supplies are essential to help prepare students for a successful year and support teachers in the classrooms,” says Tom Otto, TCN’s Associate CEO. “We hope that people will help TCN get more school supplies into the hands of more kids by donating and volunteering at the distribution events.”
