United Way of Northwest Arkansas fills the bus

Employees of all three offices in Northwest Arkansas recently donated school supplies for the United Way of Northwest Arkansas Fill the Bus school supply drive.

Fill the Bus is an initiative that helps to create a pathway out of poverty for children in our area. Donations help provide needy children with new school supplies to help assist them with their studies. Our employees have participated in this campaign for the past several years.

Supplies are given to approximately 13 school districts across the area. This year the Arkansas Razorback football team helped collect supplies donated by our three offices. The employees in the Fayetteville Call Center had a contest to see who could collect the most supplies. The winner of the contest – the students across Northwest Arkansas!

School buses will be onsite Friday, Aug. 4, at all Northwest Arkansas Wal-Mart locations to collect more supplies.

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. Follow us on FacebookInstagram, LinkedInTwitter, YouTube, and Pinterest for more!
