The annual event benefits Wylie ISD students who need assistance with school supplies for the upcoming school year. To qualify for assistance, families must show documentation for one of the following: free/reduced lunch, Medicaid/CHIP, disability, Lonestar, active military, social security or unemployment. In addition to supply assistance, students also have the opportunity to receive free immunizations, haircuts and community resource information.
