We’re excited to share that with the generous support of Fifth Third Bank, City National Bank, Erie Insurance, West Shore Home, and ITW Automotive, we’ve filled Teacher Totes with much-needed school supplies! These totes were donated to schools across all 13 districts in our service region throughout the Bluegrass. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed—your kindness is making a difference for students, teachers, and family resource center coordinators as they start the new school year strong! 🎒📓 #UWBG #LiveUnited #BacktoSchool #Bluegrass #CommunityGiving #EducationMatters #BackToSchool
