United Way donates 4,000 backpacks to
WNY elementary schoolers
The gymnasium at West New York’s P.S. 1 bustled with local students, teachers,
and United Way members on Feb. 29 as they filled 4,000 backpacks with $50,000
worth of notebooks, folders, pencils, rulers, glue sticks, and sharpeners in
assembly-line fashion. Garbage bags full of already-packed packs piled up in the
school’s store rooms awaiting distribution to every elementary schooler, grades
kindergarten through sixth, in the district.
United Way of Hudson County members Ben Dineen and David Donnely said this marks
the organization’s third year donating backpacks to schools in Hudson County.
Their first year, they donated 8,000 packs. This year, they will have donated a
total of 21,000 and have raised $120,000 for the cause.
They work in conjunction with local organizations who donate money to United Way
for this specific purpose.
“We wanted to do something for the community that would really have an impact,”
Dineen said. “What do kids need as the first step toward success? Supplies.”
United Way takes the business’ donations and works with retailers to buy the
supplies in bulk at discounted cost, they deliver them to the schools, and local
volunteers help put it all together.
“Our volunteers packed over 2,000 bags within two and a half hours,” P.S. 1
Principal Nelson Lopez said Wednesday. “I think that’s pretty fantastic.”
