United Way Still Needs School Supplies to "Stuff the Bus"
Staff Report From Columbus CEO
Thursday, July 23rd, 2015
The Stuff the Bus school supply drive is coming to a close soon, but United Way still needs school supplies to fill backpacks.
We have received a large number of backpacks that will go a long way in meeting the need in our community, but we are in need of more school supplies to fill those backpacks.
