WKTY CARES: Help Local Students Start the School Year Strong
A new school year should begin with excitement—not worry. That’s why WKTY CARES is proud to support the Coulee Region Back2School Program, helping ensure local students have the backpacks, school supplies, and essentials they need to walk into the classroom with confidence. For many families in our community, the cost of back-to-school shopping can be overwhelming. Through this incredible community effort led by Catholic Charities, hundreds of students receive the supplies they need to be prepared for a successful school year. Last year, the program helped hundreds of local families and more than 1,000 students, and the need continues to grow.
