United Way
STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – United Way of Portage County hosted their campaign kick-off to raise support for yearly projects on Thursday night. This time of year, the focus is on back-to-school drives.
The event took place at Pfiffner Pioneer Park, highlighted with live music, a t-shirt cannon, and even teaching at TikTok.
United Way is using the opportunity to collect supplies for area students before they head back to school. “Students need these supplies to be successful. Some of them just don’t have access to it and the community steps up to contribute,” said Benjamin Nusz, Campaign Drive Chair for United Way of Portage County.
Nusz said last year they served around 1,000 students, and hope to help more this year.
