The yearly school supply scramble can be difficult for working families who are already busy trying to do a thousand other things to get their kids ready for school. To help out with this hectic time, Wettermark Keith has partnered with Wylam Elementary and Bush Hills STEAM Academy for our inaugural School Supply Giveaway to bring essential school supplies to local children in the community. We want to do our part to make the back to school rush a little easier on all of the families in our Birmingham community.

Wettermark Keith will be at Wylam Elementary to give away 1,000 school supply boxes and clear drawstring backpacks to families in need. The supplies will be handed out at their campus located at 701 Erie Street to every child present. The event will run from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., or while supplies last*, on Saturday, July 20, 2024.
