VW independent/submitted information

Eric Hurless, an Edward Jones financial advisor in Van Wert, is supporting Operation Back to School by using his office as a drop-off location for a school supplies drive.

Local residents may help support this effort by bringing in items to his Edward Jones branch office, 1119 Westwood Drive, Suite C (across from Sycamore Ice Cream), during regular business hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

“We’re asking Van Wert residents to donate school supplies or volunteer their time,” Hurless said. “These donations can add value as one more student will be provided with the appropriate tools to begin or continue his or her learning and development.”
