It’s that time again and due to the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing guidelines that are in place we are planning to make our 12th Annual Stuff the Bus School Supply Drive go VIRTUAL. United Way of San Luis Obispo is also challenging businesses that want to participate to encourage their employees and customers to go online to donate much needed school supplies or to make a donation.
More than ever, many local students and teachers are in need of the supplies necessary to begin the year successfully. Last year over 4,000 students in need received donated supplies countywide, but there were still over 1,000 students in need of supplies. For the past 12 years we have partnered with many local school districts to get these school supplies to the kids and families who need them most. That process will continue this year as well.
We will miss having our buses on location at multiple businesses countywide and we will especially miss our volunteers who made it all happen in person! Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so successful in the past, we look forward to having buses and volunteers out in our community next year!
Businesses, groups, and individuals are invited to support our Stuff the Bus School Supply Donation Drive as a sponsor and to go online to help kids in our communities receive the school supplies they need. It’s easy and only takes a few minutes to make a huge difference. To make a cash donation visit www.unitedwayslo.org/donate and select Stuff the Bus as your designation. Join United Way of San Luis Obispo County and KSBY to help others in our community by partnering with us to ‘Stuff the Bus’.
From July 1st through August 15th we will host an online, virtual Stuff the Bus School Supply Donation Drive, just visit www.roonga.com/uwslostuffthebus2020 to make a donation today
