United Way of Northwest Louisiana

The back-to-school bus doesn't stop! 🚌🎉 We would like to shout out Elite Business Resources and its employees, as these volunteers purchased and assembled 25 backpacks filled with new school supplies for our local students and teachers. A special thank you to Cody Hinson, business owner and dedicated United Way volunteer, for leading this initiative. 🌟

Today, we remember, and may we never forget. ❤️

We're excited to announce that Red River Credit Union (RRCU) RRCU has awarded us $5,000 in support of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library through the RRCU Foundation. 🎉 These funds will allow us to renew the program across Caddo Parish and sponsor approximately 100 children in the region. Thank you, RRCU, for your support in enhancing our youngest students' language and literacy development. ❤️ To learn more about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library or to register your child to receive free books from birth to age five, please visit https://lnkd.in/eFj_Y4S8

We've had a busy week visiting some of Shreveport-Bossier's community icons. 🌟 Exciting things are on the way here at United Way of Northwest Louisiana!
