United Way Collecting ‘Supplies 4 Success’ for School Year

Marshfield Area United Way’s annual “Supplies 4 Success” Backpack and School Supply Drive will be collecting school supplies for area children starting July 23, 2018, until August 5, 2018. Last year, the backpack and school supply drive helped 675 children from Marshfield, Auburndale, Granton, Greenwood, Loyal, Neillsville, Pittsville, Spencer and Stratford School Districts. You can help children in our area begin the next school year ready to learn by donating backpacks and/or school supplies and dropping them off at any of the following locations:

· Associated Bank (Marshfield & Pittsville)
· BMO Harris Bank
· Century 21 Realty
· Citizens State Bank (Marshfield & Spencer)
· First Choice Credit Union
· Forward Bank (Marshfield & Greenwood)
· Partners Bank (Marshfield, Spencer & Stratford)
· MACCI
· Marshfield Clinic
· Menards
· Riveredge
· Simplicity Credit Union
· Target (drop donations off at guest services)
· TRICOR Insurance

Donations can also be dropped off at the United Way office, 156 S Central Avenue, Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m and 4:30 p.m.

More information about the backpack and school supply drive and a list of school supplies needed for donation is available for download at the Marshfield Area United Way website, marshfieldareaunitedway.org.

If your business or organization will be holding a school supply drive within your company and would like the donated supplies picked up, please call United Way at 715-384-9992 to schedule a pick-up, if you have not done so already. The “Supplies 4 Success” Backpack and School Supply Drive is a coordinated effort between Marshfield Area United Way and the Marshfield Clinic’s Center for Community Advancement.
