State of play: Thrift Pony, a popular vintage and consignment shop in Camp North End, hopes to raise $5,000 for teachers in Mecklenburg County. You can donate directly or shop their fundraiser sale on Sunday, Aug. 3. All of the proceeds from the sale will help buy supplies for teachers.
Items at the sale will be $1, $3 and $5.
Your donation also gets you a certain percentage off at Thrift Pony. A $10 donation, for instance, gets you 10% off.
Teachers in Mecklenburg County can also submit their classroom wish lists by Aug. 15 for a chance to be sponsored.
Zoom out: Organizations are hosting school supply drives across the city. You can also donate supplies or host a supply drive through Classroom Central's 9 School Tools drive, which runs through the end of August.
