When students start school with the supplies they need, they can focus on what really matters – learning.

Stuff the Bus is our community-wide school supply drive that supports unmet back-to-school needs. When families are struggling to pay rent and put food on the table, school supplies are often out of reach. With your help, we can give students the tools – and confidence – that they need to excel in the classroom.

Shop our virtual drive here! 

The in-person Stuff the Bus event will be held on Saturday, August 2nd - a tax-free weekend! Drive sites include the Pleasant Valley Walmart, the Stephens City Walmart, and the Route 50 Frederick County Walmart.
