Donate this week to help students in need

31.07.11

Among the options is the Mutual Way-sponsored Cool Tools for Cool Kids program, which allows customers of Publix to a halt by Gwinnett County stores and drop off school supplies in “School Tools” bins.

In a individual back-to-school supply drive effort, donations will be welcomed through Tuesday at Gwinnett Place Mall in Duluth and at Mall of Georgia in Buford as part of the Diversity of Georgia effort.

Items accepted for all back-to-school drives include pens, pencils, notebook disquisition, glue, crayons, colored pencils, erasers, folders, rulers and binders.

Volunteers will also be needed for the Unperturbed Tools for Cool Kids program to help sort supplies and prepare them for distribution between Aug. 15-30. To blink up, email volunteer@unitedwayatlanta.org.

According to a news release, United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta mobilizes people “to servants tackle the issues that are too big for anyone to solve alone.”
