Get an up close and personal experience with United Way's "How We Win" strategy for community change and be inspired to participate and give back.
Transportation: Tour a Proterra bus on District 356 to learn about our community's transportation challenges and opportunities, and connect with personal stories of how transportation barriers impact lives in Greenville County.
Education: Help build literacy kits that will help provide Greenville County students with valuable academic and reading resources. Add to the kits by purchasing new books via this Amazon wishlist curated by United Way.
