A long line of cars filled the parking lot at the Boys and Girls Club of Washington County today (Thursday) for the Brenham GameChangers’ drive-thru school supply drive. Over 900 bags of school supplies were handed out to Brenham and Burton families.
Courtney Mason, assistant principal at Brenham High School and co-coordinator of the school supply drive along with Toni Ortega, says she sees firsthand the students who do not have everything they need for the classroom and the impact that can have on their success. She says this event aims to address those insecurities so that they can focus on their education.

The drive is made possible through the assistance of donors throughout the community, from individuals to businesses. Mason says as of today, Brenham GameChangers has received around $30,000 in school supply donations, helping the organization to fulfill the most supply requests in the history of the drive.
Families registered in advance for the drive and received vouchers to present during the supply pick-up.
