United Way Day of Action gives people and organizations the opportunity to make change happen in our community. Whether you're donating school supply items or organizing a school supply drive at your organization your efforts count!
School Supply Drive
Education is essential to unlocking a student's potential and achieving financial success. However, for many families and teachers across our local community, the cost of buying school supplies can be a significant burden. United Way SEMS' School Supply Drive will provide school supplies to students and teachers who need them most. All supplies collected will be donated to schools within Forrest, Lamar, Marion, and Perry counties.
