In between summer’s activities back-to-school shopping season has begun. It is exciting to see businesses, our community organizations, and individuals getting involved in our annual Stuff the Bus school drive campaign.
The new school year is an opportunity for new beginnings and for students to get a fresh start. United Way’s Stuff the Bus provides us with an opportunity to support students as they gear up for the school year ahead.
By helping our students get the necessary school supplies we allow students to fully participate in school learning, boost creativity and enhance their well-being. Studies also show if students have the tools needed to learn, it changes behaviors and promotes healthy attitudes about school.
We know that for many back to school shopping can be a high stressor and collectively we can help lessen the financial burden.
Tomorrow night, we invite you to help us kick off our Stuff the Bus campaign and join us for some fun at the Red Wing Aces baseball game.
We encourage you to bring school supplies and welcome all donations. Our board members will happily take your orders at the concession stand and staff will have information, give-aways to share, and summer raffle tickets on hand.
Our Stuff the Bus campaign is just starting and will run until Friday, August 11th. We will continue to collect supplies and donations until then. See donations sites below.
We appreciate all of your support!
