Stuff the Bus:
During the Stuff the Bus school supply drive, businesses in the area display donation bins and encourage customers and employees to donate school supplies which are then distributed to children attending Auburn City, Lee County, and Opelika City schools whose families are unable to purchase supplies for their children.
Share Programs:
Opelika Share and Project Share assist qualified elderly and disabled individuals facing financial challenges with payment on a utility bill.
Fan Program:
Each summer, United Way of Lee County distributes fans to qualified applicants who cannot afford any type of cooling or air conditioning.
FamilyWize:
The FamilyWize Prescription Drug Discount Card enables individuals and families to receive discounted pricing on prescription drugs. It can offer immediate savings on prescription drugs at participating pharmacies for those without health insurance, during deductible periods and for prescription medicine not covered by health insurance, Medicare and other benefit plans.
Disaster Services:
2-1-1 Community Connections works with local agencies to ensure families impacted by a disaster are connected to immediate relief resources. United Way also works with the Lee County Emergency Management Agency to set up Volunteer Reception Centers (VRC) if a major event occurs. A VRC helps to organize, document, and mobilize large numbers of spontaneous volunteers.
