Kathleen Cannon, president and CEO of the United Way of Broward County, explained how the distribution of supplies worked. “All of our teachers come through, like an assembly line,” she said. “They pop their trunks, we open their back doors, and we completely load up their cars with cases and cases of school supplies.”
United Way decided to hold the distribution in the middle of the school year because, teachers said, classroom supplies are dwindling.
