Stuff the Bus!

Stuff the Bus Gets Kids Ready to Learn

There are more than 5,144 students in Monterey County who are homeless or in great need and cannot afford the supplies they need for school. To help send these kids back to school fully equipped to succeed, United Way Monterey County is spearheading its 3rd Annual Stuff the Bus school supply drive. Donations are being collected at sites throughout the county.
