Stuff the Bus with school supplies to help kids succeed!
Your donations help thousands of San Antonio-area students get the school supplies they need to be successful
Stuff The Bus campaign is happening now to collect school supplies for kids in need across San Antonio and surrounding areas. Communities In Schools of San Antonio, in partnership with KENS 5 and H-E-B, is the non-profit organization behind this campaign. For more than 30 years, they have helped connect students and their families to needed resources like school supplies and school uniforms to more recent ones like counseling and emotional support.
Due to the efforts of many community supporters, thousands of local students are provided with the tools they need to be successful. School supplies are available to students year-round at over 140 schools across 12 school districts that Communities in Schools of San Antonio serves.

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.
