SET KIDS UP FOR
THIS SCHOOL YEAR
Every kid deserves to walk into the first day of school with confidence, but too many will start the year without the basics they need to succeed. Right now, your donation helps kids become learners, readers, and leaders — from day one and beyond. Let's stuff the bus!

Be the reason a kid starts ready
Success in school starts long before the first bus arrives. In neighborhoods with fewer resources, only 1 in 5 third graders are reading proficiently — a foundation that can shape the rest of their lives. With your help, we can close gaps that get in the way of learning, from early learning opportunities to safe homes with access to food, clothing, and books.
When you Stuff the Bus with us, you provide more than just school supplies — you’re helping build:
- Confidence in the classroom
- Equity in education
- A stronger future for our community
