Hearst Gives Back School Supply Donation

The San Antonio Express-News, as part of the Hearst Gives Back program, supports giving back to the local community. We are encouraging all employees to participate in our school supply drive. This initiative will benefit less fortunate kids in need of essential items to help them further their education and get the school year off to a great start. 

Donations can be made in $5 increments. Increase the item quantity to reflect how many times you can donate $5.
