Back to School

United Way of Pierce County believes in education and wants every child to have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Due to financial struggles, school supplies and clothing are some of the basic needs many children go without. UWPC wants to change that and you can help.

Back-to-School connects local businesses, churches, families, and individuals to disadvantaged children who need a little help to start the school year prepared to succeed. There are four ways you can get involved.

Sponsor a child
Signing up to sponsor a child gives you the opportunity to provide all the necessary school supplies, a back pack and a complete outfit for the first day of school.
