With less than one week left in their Running Start for School supply drive,  United Way of Olmsted County (UWOC) is 46% of the way to their goal. They still need help making sure another 1,800 local students get the supplies they need to start school before the Aug. 16 deadline.

Each summer, our community rallies together alongside United Way of Olmsted County to  support local students in both Olmsted and Dodge counties through the Running Start for School program.

To support United Way’s Running Start for School program, purchase backpacks and school  supplies through the online drive at www.uwolmsted.org/rs. For as little as $8, you can make  sure a student is prepared to attend school.
