UPDATE: United Way Oxford is proud to announce that the Supplies 4 Students fundraiser has achieved its goal of supporting each family that applied to the program.
The United Way was grateful for the three school boards in the area that helped to distribute the raised funds.
The program began in 2016 but this year achieved its highest record of students helped. Over 1300 students from 650 families were given $50 cards to either Giant Tiger in Ingersoll and Woodstock, or Staples in Tillsonburg and Woodstock.
OXFORD - Time is running out if you're thinking about applying for some financial assistance this back-to-school season.
Families have until this Friday to register for the Supplies 4 Students Program through United Way Oxford. Executive Director Kelly Gilson explains the program's vision.
