10th Annual Stuff the Bus

The best poverty prevention tool we have is education

Ensuring that children have the supplies they need to do their homework, take tests, and complete science and art projects is a simple but important way we can help them get their education and succeed in school.

That's why each fall United Way engages local businesses and individuals in a "Stuff the Bus" collection drive. In 2017, over 3,300 FCPS students benefited from the drive, more than 110 collection sites were set up, over 85 volunteers in ten buses collected 70,000+ items. In 2018, our goal is to stuff twelve buses to help more students and we need your help!

If you couldn't make it to one of the locations, you can make learning possible by donating online. Giving through our website is easy and secure. Simply click here to give now.

If your child or a child you know could make use of new school supplies for the next school year, please call 2-1-1 to learn more about how to connect with our initiative.

If your business would like to host a collection drive, visit this link to register.

For more information, please contact Joyce Kwamena-Poh at (240-578-4009) or jkwamenapoh@uwfrederick.org.

Collection drive begins July 5th and ends August 15th this year.
