Back-to-School Drive for Community Action Network

Continuing through August 15

This year, Community Action Network (CAN) is hoping to collect about 260 backpacks filled with supplies to give to students who are under-resourced. There are two ways you can donate—online and in person.

  • You can purchase online here, or
  • You can shop in person and drop the items off at UUAA. Look for the drop-off box in the hallway or at a table in the Social Hall on Sunday.

CAN is collecting items until August 15.

High priority items are two-pocket folders, spiral notebooks, and composition notebooks.

Other items needed:

  • backpacks (for a variety of ages and gender preferences)
  • loose-leaf paper
  • rulers, scissors, and erasers
  • pencils, pens
  • pencil sharpeners
  • pencil pouches
  • markers, colored pencils (we have plenty of crayons!)
  • binders (½-inch or 1-inch)
  • binder dividers

Questions? Contact the UUAA office at office@uuaa.org.

Editor’s note: If you would like to donate to UUAA as well as CAN, please purchase scrip (gift cards) for making your purchases from Amazon, Meijer, Target, Visa, or other retailers from the UUAA Scrip Program during Social Hour on Sunday. Questions? Contact scrip@uuaa.org.
