The “Stuff the Bus” campaign occurs annually to ensure that our most at-risk students have everything they need to start their school year off ready to learn. Items needed for the “Stuff the Bus” Drive include backpacks, color pencils, crayons, dry erase markers, glue sticks, composition notebooks, and scissors. United Way stands as our dedicated partner who continues to solve the problems facing our community that are difficult to face and too hard to ignore. For this year’s drive, you can donate and volunteer in a variety of ways. Visit www.yourlocaluw.org/Stuff-Bus for more details and information!
