Aug. 22, 2019 - NCDHHS Secretary Mandy Cohen, M.D., joined Caswell Developmental Center Director Marsha Meadows and others on Aug. 20 to present school supplies donated by DHHS employees to Lenoir County Public Schools Superintendent Brent Williams. 

The delivery was part of Governor Roy Cooper’s 3rd Annual School Supply Drive to benefit students and reduce the burden on teachers who spend about $500 of their own money on classroom supplies each year. All supplies collected by DHHS in Wake County were brought to Lenoir County and were distributed to Lenoir County Public Schools, the Lenoir-Greene Partnership for Children and the Lenoir County Department of Social Services. 

School supplies delivered included paper, pencils and pens, USB flash drives, dry erase markers, folders, sanitizing wipes and tissues. 

Photos from the deliveries to Lenoir County are below. To see photos from supply drives throughout DHHS, watch this slideshow.
