Everyone’s first day of school looks different, but when students have a backpack and school supplies, it sets the stage for a successful year. Sign up to volunteer at home to help us meet our goal of providing 45,000 K-12 students with backpacks full of school supplies — like markers, scissors, pencils and notebooks — on their first day of school.
PLACE ALL ITEMS INTO A 2-GALLON ZIPLOC BAG
Create your own volunteer experience with family and friends by following these easy steps:
OPTIONAL: We welcome you to add a homemade “encouragement card” featuring original art and positive messages to add to your school supply packs! Use a notecard or card stock and please keep size less than 5x7.
A designated collection box will be located inside the lobby at each of these locations from Monday, July 1 to Friday, August 16, 2024. Completed school supply packs can be dropped off during open business hours. Be sure to check hours of operation, as some locations may have varying schedules and could be closed on federal holidays, such as Juneteenth and Independence Day.
If you aren’t able to drop off your packs at a Bremer Bank or UPS location, select “Scheduled Drop-Off” during signup, and a member of the Volunteer United team will reach out to coordinate a drop-off at Greater Twin Cities United Way’s office: 404 S 8th St, Minneapolis, MN 55404.
A special thank you to our volunteer at home partner, Bremer Bank, for hosting drop off sites across the Twin Cities community.
