WXYZ partnered with Leo’s Coney Island for the Detroit School Supplies Drive – to benefit students and teachers in Detroit Public Schools.

Thanks to your donations, four semi trucks full of supplies will be delivered to the Detroit Federation of Teachers for direct distribution into the classrooms. 

"I am completely overwhelmed! To Channel 7 to Leo"s Coney Island to everyone who donated-- I just want to say 'thank you,'"  said Ivy  Bailey, Interim President of Detroit Federation of Teachers.  

Donation boxes were placed at all 56 Leo’s locations in southeast Michigan where viewers dropped off everything from pencils and notebooks to Kleenex and Post-It Notes.
