United Way and the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce are teaming up to host Pencils & Paper school supply drives this summer around the region. Host a drive today!
Pencils and Paper has operated a no-cost classroom supply store since 2016. They serve 800 teachers/semester, around 30,000 children annually in the Rochester Area. Pencils and Paper provides needed school supplies to local teachers to support students most impacted by poverty this school year.
United Way and the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce are teaming up to rally our community around the Pencils & Paper initiative this summer. Get involved today!
