Help us Stuff the Bus with school supplies for kids who need them! Last year, we filled the bus with $60,000 worth of supplies. Let’s work together to make sure every kid in SLO County has a fantastic school year! We encourage teams from companies, PTAs, school sports, school clubs, civic clubs and other organized groups. We will need at least five volunteers for each 3-hour shift from 9-6 PM.
