Check Resources Plus announces “Pay It Forward Friday” August 20

(NDG Wire) School starts on Monday, August 23 and many Collin County students are still in need of school supplies and shoes.  Check Resources Plus in Frisco launched its summer drive in July and the responses from those in need have been so overwhelming, they are desperately reaching out to individuals and businesses in the community to request assistance to fulfill these needs. 

 The Check Resources staff invite the public to join them as they collectively set the intention to “Pay It Forward” and make a difference for local students who cannot afford back to school supplies and shoes.  Drop off your school supply donations at either Frisco location, or call 469-362-7776 to adopt a child with a shoe request.

 Several salons have partnered to “Pay It Forward” by providing complimentary hair services for students returning to school during the month of August, and a list of those participating stylists can be picked up at both store locations.

 Contact Check Resources Plus is located at 7151 Preston Road, Suite 331C, 469-362-7776, or at 279 W. Main Street, Suite 139, 214-436-5190.  Hours of operation are 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., Monday – Friday.
