You can drop off donations of school supplies at the library through August 10
The Union County Library System and the Union County School District are partnering with United Way of the Piedmont for the annual Stuff the Bus event for Union County. United Way will deliver donated school supplies to students who need them. Shop for the needed supplies and then drop off donations to the Union County Carnegie Library at 300 East South Street by August 10. They need things like backpacks, #2 pencils, glue sticks, crayons, rulers, blunt-tip scissors, plastic folders, pink wedge erasers, pencil sharpeners, spiral notebooks, notebook paper, 3-ring binders, colored pencils, and washable markers. If you would like, you can also write a friendly, encouraging note to an elementary school student on a 3x5 index card and include it with the donated supplies. For more information, contact Lauren Hultstrand, Director of Community Engagement for United Way of the Piedmont, at 864-680-0949 or email lhultstrand@uwpiedmont.org. You can find out more online as well at uwpiedmont.org/stuffthebus.
