Children look forward to starting their school year with fresh, new supplies.
Not every family is able to afford that expense. You can help make sure that children in this area can get a good start this year by 'stuffing the bus' with new, basic supplies. Area schools are partnering with this effort by identifying students who should receive the supplies.
Here are some options for donating supplies:
Canby: On Aug 2, bring supplies to the Night Out event in Central Park OR drop off items at one of the collection boxes located throughout the community.
Lincoln/Lyon Counties: Look for collection bins in your workplace, throughout the area, at the Lincoln Co Fair OR bring items to the Marshall Armory between 10 - 11:30 am, Tuesday, Aug 2. A donation bin will be at the Night Out event in Marshall, also.
Cash/check donations are also appreciated so specific items can be purchased. United Way of Southwest MN is fiscal agent for the school supply drives and will make sure that the funds are used wisely. Send your tax deductible donation to United Way P.O. Box 41, Marshall, MN 56258 (please note Stuff the Bus and your community on the memo line). |
