Community Connection
School Supply Drive
The United Way of Southeastern Connecticut and Chelsea Groton want to ensure kids go back to school with the confidence and material supplies needed to perform successfully in the classroom. You're invited to help by bringing school supplies to any of our Chelsea Groton branches! All donations will be distributed to teachers and students throughout New London County. Items needed are backpacks, pencils and erasers, crayons and highlighters, sharpeners, rulers, binders, and loose leaf paper. Let's make this a great start to the school year for all of the students in our community!
