United Way rallying businesses to become drop-off locations for school supply drive
LAFAYETTE, La. () — Summer has started, but it's never too late to start thinking about next school year. Those at United Way of Acadiana are kicking off their 'Stuff the Bus' school supply drive. This drive makes sure families in need are given what they need to make the next school year a success. 'Families have a hard time making ends meet and buying school supplies can be an extra financial burden for them,' says Holly Cope-Lynn, Market and Communications Director for United Way of Acadiana. United Way of Acadiana collects these school supplies to hopefully provide some economic relief for both students and teachers in the area. 'Half of every household lives in economic hardship, so that's half of our students, half of our teachers,' says Cope-Lynn. Teachers are increasingly dipping into their own pockets to set their classrooms up for success. 'Teachers spends on average $800 a year in their own funds to buy these supplies for their classrooms,' adds Cope-Lynn. This school supply drive is a huge undertaking and United Way is reliant on both community help and volunteers. 'It takes hundreds of volunteer hours, it takes hundreds of volunteers,' says Cope-Lynn. 'There are multiple phases, everything from businesses signing up to be collection sites to people actually bringing in their items to donate.' Some of the items collected include paper, pens, pencils, crayons, folders, Kleenex, and hand-sanitizer. At this time, United Way of Acadiana is attempting to rally businesses to become drop-off locations for these items. They need businesses in Lafayette parish, but especially other parishes in their five-parish service zone, including Acadiana, Iberia, St. Martin, and Vermilion. 'We get the school supplies to those school districts, and we need businesses in those parishes to collect school supplies,' adds Cope-Lynn. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now Eventually, at the end of the summer, when all these items are collected, they plan to fill up their entire warehouse. According to Cope-Lynn, this is not an impossible goal, especially with the success the drive saw last year. 'Last year, we collected more than $100,000 in value in school supplies,' says Cope-Lynn. 'That went to 500 teachers in our five parish areas and that helped 30,000 students and that is serious impact,' adds Cope-Lynn. The 'Stuff the Bus' school supply drive runs from June 17th through July 16th. If you are a business owner and you'd like to sign up your business to be a drop off location, you can visit to do so. United Way of Acadiana also has purchase supplies on an Amazon wishlist that can be shipped directly to their warehouse.

Warm, humid weather continues with daily chances of rain
LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) – After starting out with slightly lower humidity and temperatures in the 60s, Sunday will see a mixture of sunshine and cloud cover. By lunchtime, a few showers, and potentially a rumble of thunder, will develop and spread across the area. This will help break the heat for a lucky few areas. Otherwise, temperatures reach the upper 80s. Tonight, some dry air will linger allowing temperatures to drop into the upper 60s. Monday, humidity creeps into the forecast while temperatures climb back to the 90s. Outside of a few cooling storms, there won't be much in the way of heat relief for the area. This starts a long stretch of typical summertime heat and humidity with daily rain chances. Sunday is the first official day of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Tropical outlooks have this season once again being above-average when it comes to how many named storms form. However, it only takes one system to make it a bad season. Through the next 7 days, no development is expected in the Atlantic Basin. Locally, the next seven days remain fairly quiet around the area with daily rain chances and hot temperatures in the afternoons. Download the KLFY Weather App by clicking here.
