“The generosity of our community has been humbling and overwhelming!” states Alice Delgardo, President and CEO of United Way of Pasco County. “Our partnership with the Pasco County School district allows us to be able show greater impact by assisting the schools that need the most help.”

Over 300 volunteers joined United Way of Pasco County between August 3 – August 6 collecting school supplies at participating Walmart Supercenter stores and culminating Monday, August 6 where collected supplies were sorted and packed at the Mike Fasano Hurricane Shelter in Hudson. An estimated $ 3 0 ,000 worth of supplies were donated by shoppers and local businesses which in turn helped to support over 50 Pasco County schools with the most need. All school supplies collected remains in the community to benefit our local students in Pasco County. Special thanks to community partners Walmart, The Pasco County School District, as well as generous sponsors, Bank of America and Community Service Council. We also extend our sincere appreciation to numerous local businesses and community leaders.
