The Pediatric Intermediate Care Unit at Methodist Children's Hospital will be raising money this summer to help provide school supplies to the kiddos in our community for the upcoming school year. We strive to help our community's children have the most successful school year yet. We have seen firsthand just how hard the COVID-19 pandemic has hit our community, and we are very excited about being able to help give back!
The Communities In Schools’ (CIS) 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 these 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 160 CIS partnering schools (elementary-high school) across 12 school districts to purchase supplies for any student in need at that campus. The Stuff The Bus School Supply Drive 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.
