      There are a few ways to donate:
      1. Bring in donations to the front office! If you are a bulk shopper (Costco, Sam's Club, etc.), we are always looking for the large snack packs of any kind as well as juices, Capri Sun, and Kool Aid. Please let the office know that the donation is for the ACT store!
      2. ACT Store donation link: Use the link to directly donate money to our account which we will use to stock the store!
      3. Amazon Wishlist: Our wishlist has the items that our students have liked in the past and they will ship directly to the school!
