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.

Contact Yvonne Kuykendall at ykuykendall@ets.org. Can I donate actual school supplies this year? We have made a thoughtful decision not to accept supplies from partners this year to help us keep the safety of our students, staff, and volunteers first. This will also help us minimize contact and product sorting/exchange. Instead, we are requesting monetary donations that will allow our Site Coordinators to purchase the supplies our students need when they return to school in August. What can my donation provide students? 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. Below are a few examples of what your donation can provide.
