We are excited to announce our 7th annual fundraising campaign for "Stuff the Bus." This initiative is particularly close to our hearts, as we recognize the significant financial burden that purchasing school supplies can place on families, especially in the current economic climate.
The lack of necessary school supplies can unfortunately affect a child's academic progress, self-confidence, and even their attendance. We firmly believe that all underserved children deserve to feel supported and included at school. Providing them with the essential tools for learning is a crucial step in ensuring their readiness and fostering a sense of belonging.
The deadline for monetary donations is Friday, August 15th. For those wishing to donate physical school supplies, the last day for collection is Wednesday, July 30th. You can drop off supplies at our office.
Thank you for considering supporting this important cause.
Stuff The Bus School Supply Drive is one of city's largest school supply drives that serves thousands of under-served students and families. Many of our families are below the poverty line and cannot afford all the supplies their children need to start their school year. The funds raised through this event will be given to about 140 CIS partnering schools (elementary-high school) across 12 school districts to purchase supplies for any student in need at that campus. Your support helps to alleviate the stress of back-to-school expenses and allows students to focus on their education with the tools they need to be successful.
