United Way Stuffs Backpacks For Kids

United Way of Androscoggin County is teaming up with LL Bean, Walmart Distribution Center, Auburn-Lewiston Rotary and Big Lots this year to make sure that kids in our community have the school supplies they need. Backpacks will be distributed directly to all participating Lewiston and Auburn Schools, however, if you know a child in need in Androscoggin County: Auburn, Lewiston, Durham, Greene, Leeds, Lisbon, Mechanic Falls, Minot, Poland, Sabattus, Turner and Wales, call our office today 795-4000 and sign-up to receive a backpack.

The Auburn Lewiston Rotary Club has donated $1,000 to United Way Androscoggin for the purchase of backpacks to hold all of the school supplies the community collects.  Rotary members have also donated their time and their muscle to stuffing and distributing the backpacks to area schools.
