School Supply Drive for Students
United Way of Greater Atlanta's schools, school systems, and non-profit partners are in need of backpacks with school supplies to provide to students as they prepare to start the Fall semester. Volunteers are needed to create school supply kits full of essential items to support back to school efforts. United Way will provide the backpacks and some additional supplies, and they will be donated to Clayton, Cobb, Dekalb, and North & South Fulton county schools.
Volunteers should use the list below, designed to meet the current most urgent needs. You can reference our Amazon Wishlist for examples on preferred items.
