STUFF THE BUS

Our annual Stuff the Bus is going to be our biggest yet!  Again, several community groups have come together to provide more students with more stuff. We will be offering backpacks with many of the school supplies needed to make going back to school a little easier. We will also have available new shoes (CHILD MUST BE PRESENT), haircuts, as well as information on local and school services. Below is a list of dates and times you need to know, both to give to Stuff the Bus, and to receive if you need it. If your organization would like to help us spread the word about Stuff the Bus, there are also promotional resources and ideas on this page as well.
