Pocono Mountain United Way donates $6,667 for backpacks and supplies
Summary
The district accepted a $6,667 cash donation from Pocono Mountain United Way; school counselors will purchase and distribute backpacks and supplies to students based on need.
District staff told the board that Pocono Mountain United Way is shifting from donated items to a cash donation for the district’s back-to-school supplies program. Staff said the organization coordinated with district counselors to target purchases to local needs.
A staff member said, “I believe it came out to $6,667, which is usually about a $5,000 donation in items. This year, it is, an actual straight cash donation, and then we will be purchasing the items for the children.” The board moved and approved acceptance of the donation; staff said counselors will manage purchase and distribution.
