🚌 Thank you for supporting yesterday's Stuff the Bus events at Walmart and Staples! 🚌

Even the rain was no match for the generosity of our community members. A very special thanks to United Way's staff and volunteers and our Operations and Transportation Staff.

Collected supplies were inventoried by United Way and delivered to our warehouse for transport to our schools.
