Stuff the Bus

Too many of our children start the school year without clothing, shoes, school supplies and other basics items. If education is the key to a better future, we must provide all students with the tools necessary to succeed in school and prepare for life. Stuff the Bus Campaign is a joint effort among Communities In Schools of Tacoma and Tacoma Public School District to provide children in need with backpacks, school supplies, clothing and shoes for the upcoming school year. Our goal this year is to provide these items to 3,000 children. Between August 21st and 25th, a school bus will collect donations and supplies from local businesses to be sorted and delivered to the schools that the students in need attend.   We are looking for volunteers to sort through donated backpacks and supplies after the drive. For more information on how to get involved, please call Jenna Aynes at 253.571.5053.
