The Week of the Young Child

Pickens County United Way takes part next month in “The Week of the Young Child” by focusing public attention on the needs of children, their families and the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs. The Clemson community is being asked to collect books for children ages birth to 3 during the week of April 6-12. The book drive will target low income families with the goal of placing books into homes that don’t normally have them. The event also recognizes the importance of reading to young children. A drop box for children’s books will be located in the upper lobby of Clemson City Hall.
