Stuff the Bus is an initiative providing students in our community with the tools to begin school prepared and confident. Early childhood education plays a vital role in every aspect of our adult lives, determining income status, state of health and even incarceration rates. We work directly with the school systems in each of our seven counties to ensure that supplies as distributed to students who need them most.
Thanks to the support of organizations and individuals like you, the United Way of South Central Tennessee's Stuff the Bus initiative has provided thousands of local students with school supplies for 14 years in a row.
