It's been a hot minute since the Stuff-A-Bus event in July, but we have completed our time to accept donations and we came in at over 1,900 backpacks for Lea County students!! This is all due to the community, United Way just provided the means. Thank you to every person, business, and organization that donated to this cause. United Way staff spent the first week of August going to the five communities of Lea County to personally hand out bags to children - what an experience! Seeing the happy faces of all those children and grateful parents made this school supply drive truly worth it. Those children, families, and United Way are extremely grateful to have such a giving county. Thank you again to those who gave supplies, monetary donations, time, and a location to make all this possible!
