Elite DNA Behavioral Health launches Back-to-School Supplies Drive in July

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - June 26, 2023 - PRLog -- Elite DNA Behavioral Health, a comprehensive behavioral and mental health care provider, is hosting a Back-to-School Supplies Drive throughout the month of July that will help area students and schools across the state prepare for the start of the new school year.

From July 1-31, Elite DNA is collecting school supplies at 30 locations statewide and is calling on the community for support through donations of popular classroom items, including notebooks, college and wide-ruled paper, pocket folders, binders, pens, No. 2 and colored pencils, pink erasers, highlighters, pencil boxes, student scissors, glue sticks, wired headphones, sanitizing wipes and more. Cash donations and gift cards are also accepted for supplies to be purchased by Elite DNA staff.

In Gainesville, the drive will benefit students in schools across the Alachua County Public Schools system.

"Back to school is already quickly approaching, which can cause a lot of stress for parents and students. Some parents are left wondering how they will be able to afford their child's school supplies, and that sense of worry can affect their children," said Elizabeth Dosoretz, LCSW, founder and CEO of Elite DNA Behavioral Health. "With costs continuing to rise, we need the community to help ease this burden and give every child the tools they need to succeed this year."

Elite DNA is collecting supplies at more than two dozen offices across the state, including Bradenton, Brandon, Brooksville, Cape Coral, Delray Beach, Fort Myers, Gainesville, Jacksonville, Jupiter, Lakeland, Largo, Lehigh Acres, Maitland, Naples, New Port Richey, Ocoee, Orange Park, Ormond Beach, Oviedo, Port Charlotte, Sarasota, Stuart, Tallahassee, Tampa, Venice, Wesley Chapel and Weston.

Elite DNA's Gainesville office is located at 1131 N.W. 64^th Terrace, Suite A. The community is invited to drop off donations of school supplies between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays. To contact the office, call 352-363-2025.
