School is just weeks away and the Catawba County United Way is wrapping up this year’s County School Supply Drive.
With 30 collection partners, the CCUW has an initial collection count of nearly 6,000 individual classroom and hygiene supplies to share
among Catawba County, Hickory Public and Newton-Conover City Schools.
And there are still more donations to come in by the end of August.
Teachers at all three districts have mentioned in the past how valuable it is to have these stockpiles of classroom supplies at their school to help families throughout the year.
