CIS-SA Stuff The Bus School Supply Drive

The Communities In Schools of San Antonio annual Stuff The Bus School Supply Drive provides free school supplies to thousands of underserved students and families throughout the school year.  This year, the Stuff The Bus School Supply Drive will continue to be a virtual fundraiser.  As our community emerges from the pandemic, workplaces are not yet at full capacity, large volunteer gatherings are limited, and precautions are still in place.  Therefore, instead of accepting school supply donations, we are raising money for each of our schools so they have the funds to purchase school supplies, uniforms, and technology for our students.  Join us to support thousands of underserved students within our community!

For over 20 years, the Communities In Schools of San Antonio Stuff The Bus (STB) School Supply Drive has helped thousands of students and families in need.  During the 2021-2022 school year, the STB supplies will be distributed to about 150 San Antonio area schools (elementary-high school) across 12 school districts.  This allows all students at each campus to have access to free school supplies throughout the school year. Each time you participate in the Stuff The Bus School Supply Drive, you entrust Communities In Schools of San Antonio to direct your gifts to where they are needed most. This includes, but it not limited to, the purchase of school supplies, technology and uniforms needed by our students, such as, but not limited to, the representative items on this website.
