Fill The Fire Station To Help Kids Go Back To School In Davenport

The start of the 2024-2025 school year is right around the corner. We all know how expensive school supplies are and that's why B100 has teamed up with the Davenport Fire Department and the Davenport Community School District to collect donations for kids who need school supplies the most.

For one week, we're asking you, if you can, to donate school supplies at your nearest Davenport fire station. Pens, pencils, paper, notebooks, scissors, backpacks, rulers, erasers; you name it, we want it. All of these supplies will be given to kids who truly need them the most.
