United Way’s 2026 Write Start Project Gives Out $37,000 in School Supplies to NEISD Teacher

United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County’s annual school-supply drive, the Write Start Project, was a tremendous success this year with $37,000 in classroom supplies given out to teachers in North East Independent School District (NEISD). When combined with the results of the Write Start Project in 2025, in total over $67,000+ in supplies were given out to NEISD across two years.

People from the community, United Way corporate partners and many more donated school supplies like composition books, pencils, markers and more, supporting educators so they can spend less out of their own pockets. The Write Start Project was made possible this year by the generosity of its sponsors, including presenting sponsor H-E-B. Other sponsors include HOLT Group, ArchPoint, Avalon Bay, Vericast, Amarillo National Bank and Raising Cane’s.

This year’s drive saw 150+ volunteers organize, assemble and deliver school supplies to over 2,000 teachers throughout NEISD.

The Write Start Project is just one way that United Way provides relief to educators in the community.
