School tools donation bag program
Published 8:09 am Monday, August 5, 2013
Publix Super Markets invites our community to participate in a program to collect school supplies for homeless children in Suwannee County. This program is similar to “Operation Stuff the Bus” but different in that there are “recipes” of supplies for various grade levels, and these supplies are pre-packaged and available for purchase by community members. Store customers can purchase the pre-made packages of school supplies.
United Way of Suwannee Valley is coordinating the distribution of the school supplies for the Publix Super Markets in the Suwannee Valley. As donated school supplies accumulate, they are picked up by the United Way homeless coordinator. The supplies will be delivered to Suwannee County schools for the new school year. Homeless children in need of school supplies will receive these donated items.
Publix Super Markets thanks its dedicated customers for their support of this program and for helping make it possible for many children to receive the “tools” they need to learn this school year.
United Way of Suwannee Valley is a community impact and fundraising organization which advances the common good by utilizing volunteers on all levels to identify unmet community needs and seek to alleviate those needs through United Way of Suwannee Valley initiatives and the funding of 22 affiliated health and human service agencies.
