THE LENEXA EDWARD JONES BRANCH OFFICE SUPPORTS "BACK TO SCHOOL"

Melinda Dixon, an Edward Jones financial advisor in Lenexa, is supporting Back to School Supplies Donations by using her office as a drop-off location 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 to end of September.

The branch address is: 13968 Santa Fe Trail Drive, Lenexa, KS.

"We're asking Lenexa residents to donate school supplies or volunteer their time," Dixon said. "These donations can add value as one more student will be provided with the appropriate tools to begin or continue his or her learning and development."
