Stuff the Bus

Help bring school supplies to students who are experiencing homelessness.

We work with every public school district in Hampden County, South Hadley, and Granby to make sure all youth in need receive a backpack filled with all the supplies they need for the school year.

With homelessness on the rise, we know the need in our community is even greater this year. A new backpack filled with school supplies ensures a child starts the school year feeling ready, confident, and cared for. Every child deserves the opportunity to start the school year prepared and excited to learn. Join us in making a difference!
