Join United Way at our annual Refresh a Classroom, hosted by Women United and presented by Burns & McDonnell, to help teachers at Richardson Early Learning Center, Woodland Early Learning Center, and Shawnee Mission Early Education Center prepare to welcome students back to school.

We are seeking up to 34 volunteers for each location. This event is open to all community members, Women United Members and their colleagues, supervised older children (13+) and friends.
