What is Stuff the Bus?
United Way NCA’s Stuff the Bus campaign provides backpacks filled with grade-appropriate school supplies to middle school students attending our six Community Schools in DC and surrounding counties in Northern Virginia and Maryland.
Our Mission
Education is essential to unlocking a student’s potential and achieving financial success. However, for many families in the National Capital Area, the cost of buying school supplies can be a significant burden. By providing backpacks and school supplies, United Way NCA sets students up for academic success, while increasing the economic opportunity of students’ families.
Are you ready to make a positive impact on a local middle school student? Participate in United Way NCA’s Stuff the Bus campaign for the upcoming 2023-24 school year by providing school supplies to middle schools students in DC and surrounding counties in Northern Virginia and Maryland at United Way NCA’s six Community Schools.
This year, there are three ways to participate:
- Purchase and donate a gift from our Amazon Wish List
