1 206 RESULTS & STATISTICS United Way of Cass-Clay School Supply Drive Thanks to the incredible support from the community, in the last 5 years, 25,632 backpacks full of brand new school supplies have been distributed to local Cass and Clay County K-2 grade students. The United Way School Supply Drive exists to remove one of the greatest barriers that local families have to learning. We know that when a child goes to school with the tools they need on the first day they are prepared to learn. The family of each student receiving supplies is asked to complete a registration form containing basic information about their student(s) and school which United Way can utilize to understand and interpret community need and the needs of our school districts. This 206 School Supply Drive Results & Statistics document contains data that was self-reported by families that received school supplies in 206. QUICK STATS 4 Days of volunteering at the FARGODOME 500+ Volunteers 94,736 Items donated Local students prepared to go back to school confident and ready to learn! #LIVEUNITEDFM
