Everyone’s first day of school looks different, but when students have a backpack and school supplies — like markers, scissors, pencils and notebooks — it sets the stage for a successful year. School supplies are the foundation of successful learning, belonging and classroom confidence.

Open drop-off:
A designated collection box will be located inside the lobby of only these participating Old National Bank locations Tuesday, June 9 through Friday, August 14, 2026. Completed school supply packs can be dropped off during open business hours. Be sure to check hours of operation, as some locations may have varying schedules and could be closed on federal holidays, such as Juneteenth and Independence Day.
Scheduled drop-off:
If you aren't able to drop off your packs at an Old National Bank location, select "Schedule a Drop-off at United Way" during signup, and a member of the Volunteer United team will reach out to coordinate a drop-off at Greater Twin Cities United Way's office: 404 S 8th St, Minneapolis, MN 55404.
A special thank you to our volunteer at home partner, Old National Bank, for hosting drop-off sites across the Greater Twin Cities metro.
