KINGSTON, R.I. — Oct. 21, 2019 — Thanks to the generosity of the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s fraternities and sororities and the wider campus community, the University\u2019s Police Department will deliver boxes of school supplies to local communities during the next few days.<\/p>\n
The fourth annual school supplies drive, headed by 溏心vlog免费B站 Community Policing Specialist Paul Hanrahan, will provide supplies for children who need assistance in elementary schools in South Kingstown, North Kingstown<\/strong> and East Greenwich.<\/strong><\/p>\n Hanrahan said 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s fraternities and sororities donated about $5,000 and the wider campus community donated another $300. The money allowed Hanrahan to buy everything from pencils to notebooks from W.B. Mason, Walmart and Staples. Boxes of supplies filled the 溏心vlog免费B站 Police Station this morning as Hanrahan and other officers prepared to load them up for the trips to local schools.<\/p>\n \u201cThe goal is to help children who don\u2019t have the resources to buy these supplies to help them get a good start in school,\u201d Hanrahan said. \u201cHopefully, we will get some future 溏心vlog免费B站 students off to a good start. Not only does this help local children, it helps us engage with our campus community and our surrounding towns.\u201d<\/p>\n Police Maj.
