Helping families with the items they need most
Every year, summer winds down, the leaves begin to change colors and students get ready for another year in school. Before that happens, families must provide the necessary materials for their students to succeed. Children also grow in size and stature, needing new clothes that will fit for the upcoming year. Average families spend hundreds of dollars on these items every year. The sales tax holiday is estimated to provide families around $40.00 of relief for these items, including pens, notebooks, shoes and jeans. While it may not seem like much to some, others will be able to stretch that money further for other goods and services they need. In these times of economic recovery, every step we can take to move Ohio forward will provide benefits for many years.
