Local advertising agency, Gaslight Creative, and the United Way of Central Minnesota is asking for the community’s help in gathering school supplies during the August 11th Art Crawl in downtown St. Cloud.

Located on the 700 block of West St. Germain between Bumbledees and the Pickled Loon, Gaslight and United Way staff will be collecting school supplies and donations, selling artwork by their in-house designers, and doing crafts with kids.

The supplies will be distributed by the St. Cloud Salvation Army, a United Way partner. The St. Cloud Salvation Army served 400 children last year, but anticipates needing to serve 1,000 more.

You can also drop off school item donations at the KASM/KDDG Studio in Albany. Located at 35223 238th Ave. Albany, MN 56307.
