Stuff the Bus,Stuff the Bus, United Way’s signature engagement initiative, is a community-wide supply drive that invites companies and individuals to donate much-needed school supplies. These donations will help Mid-South students and teachers start the school year off right, equipped with the tools they need to succeed.

Stuff the Bus kicks off June 1 and rolls through July 30! Wrap it all up with our big drop-off event on July 31 at the Memphis Sports & Events Center. Jump in on the fun! Whether you’re flying solo, bringing the whole family, or teaming up with coworkers, everyone’s invited to help collect and donate school supplies for an amazing cause.

DROP-OFF DAY
