New Jersey Needs YOU to Stuff the Bus!

Children need the right tools to begin the school year ready to learn. For struggling parents, providing the necessary school supplies can be a financial hardship. When their children receive school supplies through a local Stuff the Bus program, parents are better able to utilize their limited financial resources to pay for basic needs such as food, utilities, rent, etc. In addition, children have greater self-esteem when they have the school supplies they need, and the same school supplies as their peers.

New Jersey's agencies know how important it is for students to have all the supplies they need at the beginning of the school year to help ensure academic success. Through NJ 2-1-1 and local agencies throughout the State, YOU can help make a difference by donating supplies, gift cards or your time.

If you know a child in need of school supplies this August, please dial 2-1-1 or contact one of the local Stuff the Bus organizers to get additional information on distribution dates and times.
