KILLEEN, Texas — The Killeen-Heights Rotary Club will make a special donation this week to Communities in Schools (CIS) of Greater Central Texas.
Members of the Rotary Club have been conducting their "Spare-a-Pair" drive, collecting pairs of socks and underwear for students in the CIS program. On Friday, Dec. 20, the Club will deliver the donations they have received throughout the drive.
Communities in Schools says the drive collected hundreds of pairs of socks and underwear, which will all go towards students in need in the community.
Communities in Schools says its mission is to "surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life". The organization says this past year, more than 6,400 students in the Killeen, Copperas Cove, Temple, Jarrell and Salado school districts benefitted from CIS services.
