This annual event will take place in both Great Bend and Hoisington on Wednesday, July 21st from 10:00-6:00. Volunteers will brave the heat to hand out flyers and collect items at Wal-Mart and both Dillons locations in Great Bend and Town and Country Supermarket and Dollar General in Hoisington. In years past over 1000 items are donated annually to distribute among United Way Community Partners and schools. The lists of supplies include a wide range of items including school supplies, toiletries, cleaning supplies, items for babies and children, and non-perishable food items. School supplies will be used for local backpack programs and also be donated to schools for their supply closets.
