School Tools provided backpacks to 1,200 students
3,000+ meals were collected through the Hands On: Economic Mobility Volunteer Series

How you can help:

United Way has 100 years of on-the-ground experience focusing on education, financial stability, and vibrant + equitable communities as the three essential impact areas for increasing economic mobility in Greenville County. They recently released a series of conversations with local experts and community partners digging into each of these focus areas.
