Team members give back in Lawrence, Kansas

The United Way Back to School Supply Drive is a perfect way to help students get the resources they need to be successful in school. There are two ways to help. The first option is to make a financial donation, and the second option is to have your own school supply drive. 

The Lawrence, Kansas, operations team decided to give back by organizing a local drive, donating a total of 96 backpacks to students in need! Lawrence put on a United Way Back to School Supply Drive last year, and it was appreciated so much that United Way requested that they organize another drive this year. 

Special thanks go out to Jessica, operations support specialist, and Ethan, utility construction planner, for making this drive possible and for making the event so successful. If you are interested in organizing your own school supply drive, learn more here.

We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Make sure to tag us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
