Back to School Backpack Drive
July 17 @ 8:00 am - July 28 @ 4:30 pm
United Way Hands On needs your help! Each year, Hands On receives backpacks filled with supplies to donate to local agencies that support children in need. These backpacks provide some school necessities and additional items needed to prepare them for a productive school year. Please donate mesh or clear backpacks filled with supplies for children in support of these agencies: Pathways and Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Alabama. We estimate that we will need 1,000 backpacks filled with school and hygiene supplies. Please see the supply list for the type of items that can be included in the backpacks. For more information on how to donate backpacks filled with supplies as well as drop-off locations, please contact United Way Hands On: info@unitedwayhandson.org
