Stuff the Bus is back!

On August 6 and 7, United Way is partnering with Saint Francis Healthcare, KFVS12, Withers Broadcasting, Salvation Army, and Walmart to collect basic school supplies to help an estimated 1,000 families during their annual Stuff the Bus campaign.

School buses will be parked in front of participating Walmart stores on August 7th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. during Missouri’s tax-free weekend. Athletic groups, student clubs, faculty, and staff from participating schools will be out gathering thousands of school supplies donated by community members across the entire Southeast Missouri region during Missouri’s tax-free weekend.
