It’s almost back to school for local kids.
Thursday the United Way of Blair County was doing their part to make sure those kids have the supplies they need when they head back to the classroom.
It’s the official culmination of the “Stuff the Bus” campaign as volunteers were handing out donations from throughout the summer.
“This year we had a lot of families that called in, and we have a lot of need in the community,” said Denise Adams from the United Way of Blair County. “I think ours is unique that we distribute backpacks to everyone in Blair County who needs the help. We also have families who come year to year because each year the struggle is real.”
Adams says if you still need school supplies for your kids, you can still call the United Way of Blair County and get in on a waiting list. They may still have supplies available.
