POTSDAM – The Edward Jones branch office at 9 Maple St. is supporting a back-to-school supplies collection campaign.

Local residents and businesses may help those less fortunate in the community by bringing items to the office during regular business hours through Friday, Sept. 3. Items needed include pens, pencils, crayons, erasers, markers, rulers, pencil boxes, paper, notebooks, and folders.

“As our world becomes more global, competition within our younger generations continues to rise, emphasizing the importance of a quality education,” said financial advisor Gary Throop.
