About

United Way of Greater Toledo invites you to help us kick off the 2026 Campaign — and make a real difference for the educators who make our community great.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to help teachers get their classrooms ready before the school year begins. Whether you're arranging furniture, organizing supplies, or setting up bulletin boards, every hour you give helps a teacher start the year strong.

All are welcome — bring a friend, bring your team, or come solo.

Want to make an even bigger impact? Consider donating items from our Teacher Supply Wish List:

  • Hand sanitizer
  • Disinfectant wipes
  • Tissues
  • Snack boxes (chips, cookies, etc.)
  • Pencils
