Due to social distancing restrictions, we are unable to hold our annual Fill-The-Bus events with Wal-Mart this summer. At these events, United Way volunteers encourage shoppers to purchase essential school supplies for local students. We still want to provide students access to the basic tools needed for success while making safety a priority.
All school supply drives for Caddo and Bossier Parishes will end September 30. The last day to start a drive is September 21.
All supplies will be distrubted to schools during the first week of October.
