Edward Jones ushers in school supplies donation drive

The four Auburn Edward Jones financial advisors are supporting a donation campaign by using their branch offices as drop-off locations for a school supplies drive.

Local residents and businesses may help those less fortunate in the community by bringing in items to the Edward Jones branch office during regular business hours from now until Sept. 14. Proceeds from the drive will benefit students in the Auburn School District.
