'Stuff the Bus' This Weekend to Help New Haven Students
From Friday through Sunday, Walmart shoppers can purchase school supplies that will be packed into a school bus and distributed to New Haven students. Texas Roadhouse and Office Max are also collecting donations.
From the New Haven Unified School District:
The local community can help provide supplies for New Haven students this weekend when Walmart once again hosts a “Stuff the Bus” event at the Union Landing shopping center.
A District bus will be parked outside the Union Landing from Friday (Aug. 17) through Sunday (Aug. 19), and shoppers will be invited to purchase items from a list of school supplies and “stuff the bus” with donations for students. Since the annual event began in 2010, shoppers have donated hundreds of reams of paper, thousands of pencils, pens and crayons, and hundreds of binders and folders.
