United Way of Bucks County recognizes the power and potential that education holds for our children. However, many of our local families struggle to afford the necessary school supplies. Despite their talent and potential, children without adequate school supplies can often feel unprepared and left out, fundamentally affecting their learning experience.
But having the right tools can make a significant difference in these children’s academic achievements. It helps level the playing field with their peers, boosts confidence and self-esteem, and fosters their overall development.
The Stuff the Bus program serves as an essential lifeline for Bucks County families in need. We gather donations to provide new backpacks filled with necessary school supplies for students from kindergarten through high school. From pencils to composition books, and from crayons to calculators, these backpacks are a treasure trove of everything a student needs to excel.
How You Can Help Stuff the Bus
- Make a Monetary Donation: Your cash contributions are significantly impactful. With every $35, we can provide one child with a full backpack of school supplies.
- Donate Supplies Directly: You can buy new school supplies and drop them off at our collection centers located all across Bucks County. For a list of needed supplies and collection centers, visit our website.
- Organize a Collection Drive: Rally your office, church, or community group for the cause and collect supplies in bulk with your own Stuff the Bus drive.
Your contributions can make an enormous difference. By donating to the Stuff the Bus program, you are not merely donating materials; you’re contributing invaluable aid to the children of Bucks County and their pursuit of a brighter, more fulfilling future.
Our Stuff the Bus program is dedicated to ensuring that children from low-income families start their school year off right; uplifted, emboldened, and equipped with all the school supplies they need. These supplies do more than just fill a backpack – they fill children with confidence, boost their self-esteem, and instill a sense of assurance that their community is behind them, rooting for their success every step of the way.
The United Way of Bucks County deeply appreciates your kind support. With your help, we can continue our mission to empower our children, strengthen our community, and make sure no student in Bucks County is left without the tools they need to succeed.
