You Can Make a Difference in a Student’s Education This Year



Support United Way’s efforts to ensure children in Greater Cincinnati are ready to learn.



Success in life begins with a quality education, so United Way is committed to ensuring all children are prepared to learn. This year, our goal is to provide 3,000 students with backpacks and school supplies. Your support will ensure that students and families get the supplies they need to be prepared for the first day of school.



Backpacks are distributed at community events hosted by our organizing partners.
