Help Area Students Prepare for Success!
About 25 percent of Hamilton County public school students live at or below poverty level. That means many area students lack the supplies they need to go back to school to prepare for success.
So United Way of Greater Chattanooga invites you to donate to the third annual STUFF THE BUS school supply drive for children and teens to equip Hamilton County public school students for success in school. The 2012 goal is to collect $40,000 in school supplies.
United Way and the Hamilton County PTA's Teacher Supply Depot are asking people to host school supply drives at their businesses, schools, and places of worship, or just donate school supplies at a participating drop-off event or location. Go online at www.LiveUnitedChattanooga.org to download posters, supply lists and other items to organize a drive.
The list of Stuff the Bus partners has grown. Joining long-time sponsor Publix are Walgreens; Top Flight paper company; the Social Media Alliance of Chattanooga; Fairway Outdoor; WRCB TV; Chattanooga Times Free Press; Clear Channel Radio Group; Chattanooga Elks Lodge #91 in East Brainerd; Hamilton Place Mall; and the Chattanooga Market.
If you would like to join these sponsors in helping United Way, go online at www.liveunitedchattaooga.org for a list of events and drop off locations.
