Valley United Way extends backpack-buying program deadline

Sharing from the Valley United Way website:

This year, everything is a little different. That includes our return to school program.

Bringing the program back was important to our Corporate Volunteer Council (CVC) members, so we found a way!

We invite you to participate with us in the Prudential Cares pre-filled backpack buying program, which supports the Boys & Girls Club of the Lower Naugatuck Valley directly.

Here is how it will work:

• The items can be purchased online with the Purchase A Backpack button. During ‘checkout’, you can ship directly to the organization by choosing the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lower Naugatuck Valley organization at 1 Positive Place in Shelton.
• The Boys & Girls Club will distribute the backpacks and supplies to students in need as they return to school this year through their programs and in partnership programs at the Valley schools.
• But hurry! This link is only live through August 6th EXTENDED TO AUGUST 16TH!
• The Make A Donation button will remain active after August 6th 16th
