The Road Home Apple Trees, located at Old Navy, DownEast, Payless ShoeSource, Salt Lake area Staples and Intrepid, provide an opportunity for the public to select an apple with the name of a child and purchase a needed back-to-school item for him or her. The items, which should be new and unused, can be donated at any of the 32 campaign partner locations from Provo to Ogden.

At the completion of the campaign, which runs through Aug. 12, the clothing and school supplies will be delivered to The Road Home before the school year begins.

During the eight-year history of The Road Home Apple Tree, more than 19,000 articles of clothing and school supplies have been donated, benefitting more than 525 children living in The Road Home shelter. For more information about the program, visit www.theroadhomeappletree.com.
