STUFF THE BUS
Every year, United Way has its Stuff The Bus initiative and partners with local companies and the community at large to donate, collect, sort, and distribute school supplies to hundreds of children in need at local Title I schools.
In 2017, a total of 5,226 backpacks were stuffed with school supplies. Thirty-three local Title I schools received backpacks for students in need.
Stuff The Bus 2018 is officially in session! See the 2018 School Supply List or DONATE ONLINE by clicking the orange button below.
