Description

Ready Set School is a collaborative event coordinated by United Way of Johnson and Washington Counties, The Salvation Army, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Neighborhood Centers, Open Heartland, and Community Violence Intervention. 

Ready Set School provides school necessities for K-12 students in Johnson and Washington Counties. Your support helps provide backpacks, school supplies, dental and vision exams, and haircuts for student in our community. 

Ways to support:

• Host a Collection Drive - Set up your own supply drive to help raise enough supplies to help as many students as possible. The Ready Set School team can provide a list of the most needed items for the event.
• Purchase supplies through the online drive - Check out the online list of supplies through the Ready Set School website and purchase what you can. 
• Make a financial contribution - The option that takes the least amount of time but has a very big impact! Visit www.UnitedWayJWC.org/backtoschool to learn more about this event and provide your support!
