The United Family kicks off annual School Supply Drive Fundraiser alongside school district officials
LUBBOCK, Texas — From July 14 to July 27, The United Family will partner with Lubbock-area school districts to host a school supply drive fundraiser for local students in need.
This is the 14th annual school supply drive campaign encouraging guests to help local students ahead of the new school year. This campaign will allow guests to donate any amount at the register when checking out at any Lubbock or Slaton United Supermarkets, Market Street, or Amigos location.
“We are so proud to once again support the students across our local school districts to help raise money for school supplies as the new year approaches,” said Sidney Hopper, president of The United Family. “While new school supplies can contribute to the excitement of a new school year, they can also be a point of financial stress for many families. The money we raise will help ensure each benefiting child is offered an opportunity for success in the classroom this year.”
The United Family kicked off the fundraiser by hosting school representatives from each participating district for a mini-shopping spree. Those in attendance were provided a gift card for $150 to get a head start on the school supplies shopping for the students in their district.
School districts benefiting from the supply drive include Lubbock ISD, Lubbock-Cooper ISD, Frenship ISD, Roosevelt ISD, Slaton ISD, and Shallowater ISD. School district personnel will use the donated funds to purchase supplies and distribute them to students with the greatest need.
