Did you know that you have an opportunity to support over 10,000 Central Minnesota kids in need with foundational school supplies?
There is an immense need for basic educational tools like school supplies. Without the right supplies, it’s incredibly difficult for students to succeed in the classroom. We need your help.
Support local students as they return to the classroom by ensuring they have the tools for success. Donations will benefit Central Minnesota learners.
Here's how you can get involved:
Consider holding a school supply drive at your office, gym or place of worship. Items may be dropped off at United Way until Friday, August 16. Email Mary Krippner or call her at 320-223-7991 to set up a drop-off time.
Most needed items are:
Pencils

Finally, please consider making a donation. All funds buy bulk school supplies that are distributed to students in the most need. Text SCHOOL to 26989.
School supplies stay in our community and are donated to Central Minnesota schools and youth programs.
