Please join us for our 18th annual Stuff the Bus school supply collection drive for elementary students in our nine-county service area. 

Our goal:  

We’re on a mission to stuff 15,000 backpacks with essential school supplies for students across our nine-county footprint. 

Why it’s Important: 

The cost of school supplies has increased 24.5% over the past four years (per the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index). 

Families struggling to make ends meet often must choose between buying school supplies or putting food on the table. That’s why United Way needs community support to make sure students have supplies to start the school year ready to learn.
