Stuff the Bus 2019

Jul 26, 2019

With the school year fast upon us, The Salvation Army has teamed up with Walmart to provide children in need school supplies through our Stuff the Bus event. On August 3, staff and volunteers will be at 49 Walmart stores throughout the Chicagoland area from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. to provide shoppers with a list of suggested supplies and to collect their generous contributions.

The average family in the U.S. plans to spend $117 per student on school supplies for the upcoming school year, according to Deloitte’s 2019 back-to-school survey. This proves challenging for families that are already struggling financially, especially those with multiple children.

The simple act of providing school supplies to students in need gives them a boost of self-confidence and sets them up for a positive and successful school year. All donations made at Stuff the Bus campaign events will remain in the local community and will help The Salvation Army provide back-to-school support to local children in need.

Help us Stuff the Bus on Saturday, August 3! You can donate school supplies at your local Walmart -- see the list of participating stores below. Or donate through our registry online by searching for "Salvation Army" and selecting from our back-to-school lists.
