La Crosse County children who were in need of school supplies won’t have to worry when classes resume Tuesday.

When a back-to-school program was coming up short on supplies, community members and businesses pulled together this week and donated the needed backpacks, folders, loose-leaf paper, glue sticks and markers for the annual back-to-school program, said Lindsey Schwarz-Nichols, La Crosse County community liaison coordinator.
Signature Chiropractic and Massage, 1840 E. Main St. in Onalaska, Wis., collected school supplies and donations at its office and raised about $1,000 during a weeklong promotion Aug. 18-22.

About 800 students have sought help so far this year.
