STUFF THE BUS

Stuff the Bus: Fueling Success from the First Day Forward

July 21—August 5,2025

Give local students the tools they need to thrive all year long.

Let’s rally for our local students & teachers.

When classrooms run low, learning suffers. Your gift ensures students and teachers across West Michigan have the supplies they need — not just on the first day, but all year long.

ATTENTION WORKPLACE TEAMS:
You will be prompted for your company name after you have submitted your gift.
Don’t forget—so your gift counts toward your team’s total.
