Donate to the 17th Annual School Supply Drive
MSU Moorhead is proud to join many Fargo-Moorhead organizations in support of the 17th Annual School Supply Drive, sponsored by the United Way of Cass-Clay!
The School Supply Drive is an annual project that creates lasting change in the community by providing new backpacks and a basic set of school supplies to children in Cass and Clay counties. Last year, 5,175 local students grades K-12 were equipped with a backpack and set of school supplies! Over 450 volunteers from area businesses, organizations and individuals donated a tremendous amount of supplies and time to help students in the community be confident and prepared for school.
The MSUM school supply drive will run from Tuesday, July 14 through Friday, July 31 at 12pm.
This year the goal is to equip over 50% or 5,200 students with the tools they need to go back to school and be ready to succeed! You can help to reach this goal by participating in the following ways:
