I am participating in Communities In Schools’ ("CIS") annual Stuff The Bus School Supply Drive to provide school supplies for students in-need.
This year, Stuff The Bus is a virtual fundraiser! Instead of accepting school supply donations, we are creating a team to raise money so CIS has the funds to purchase school supplies, uniforms and technology for students in need. While we're doing things a bit differently this year, our commitment to providing free school supplies to underserved students remains the same.
I have set a personal fundraising goal of $200 (toward our team goal of $3,000!) which will provide all the needed school supplies to one of 100 schools in San Antonio serviced by CIS.
The Communities In Schools’ (CIS) Stuff The Bus School Supply Drive is one of city's largest school supply drives that serves thousands of under-served students and families. Many of these families are below the poverty line and cannot afford all the supplies their children need to start their school year. The funds raised through this event will be given to over 100 CIS partnering schools (elementary-high school) across 12 school districts to purchase supplies for any student in need at that campus. The Stuff The Bus School Supply Drive helps to alleviate the stress of back-to-school expenses and allows students to focus on their education with the tools they need to be successful.
