Our annual Back-to-School Supply Drive is reaching its end THIS Friday. But it's not too late to participate!
Help make going back to school a positive experience by purchasing and stocking a new backpack for a child. Not only are you eliminating a challenge for a low-income family, you are enabling a young student to start the school year on a more level playing field.
Donations can be dropped off at the following convenient community locations: United Way (50 S. French Broad Ave) - YMCA (Downtown Asheville and Woodfin sites) - Asheville Savings Banking Centers
DONATE ONLINE Can't find time to shop? No worries... You're just a click away from helping a child in need. Donate online today!
We also accept cash & checks (payable to United Way, memo "School Supply Drive")
