Backpack to the Future, a joint effort between the United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County, was this year’s theme for the annual School Supply Drive. Since 2007, the Drive has provided more than 12,100 students with items to help prepare them for school. The MPS Asheville Office was thrilled to take part in such a great cause—the team donated five fully-stocked backpacks for underserved elementary and middle school students across Buncombe County.
