United Way Dutchess & Ulster Needs Help: Back-to-School Donations
Every year it seems that Back-to-School time comes around quicker and quicker. There are kids that look forward to starting school and they are eager to do so, whether it is their first year or their fifth.
What happens when these kids don't have the school supplies that they need to be able to learn and keep up with their fellow students? There is an organization that goes out of their way to collect school supplies and back packs to get these students ready-to-learn, it is the United Way of Dutchess and Ulster Counties. How can you help them help others?
