KEYSER, W.Va. (WV News) — County United Way is proud to announce their annual “Stuff the Bus” school supply drive to benefit students in Mineral County has returned this year.
Stuff the Bus will take place on Friday, Aug. 12, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Walmart parking lot in Keyser.
Walmart is helping by allowing a bus to be parked in their parking lot so that volunteers can fill it with school supplies.
“This event has been incredibly well supported in the past,” said Michele Walker, County United Way executive director. “COVID forced us to cancel the event the past two years. It is nice to get back out in the community and help those students in need of the tools to make their school year successful.”
Everyone can help by purchasing new supplies and dropping them off to fill the bus in Keyser on Aug. 12 or at the other drop-off sites before the event date. Businesses are encouraged to call the United Way office at 301-722-2700 for a collection box.
Items being collected include backpacks, brown paper lunch bags, colored pencils, composition books, crayons, disinfecting wipes, erasers, glue sticks/glue, hand sanitizer, highlighters, notebook paper, paper plates, pencils, pens, pencil cases, post-it notes, reusable water bottles, scissors, thin dry-erase markers, three-prong folders w/pockets, three-ring binders, one-subject spiral notebooks, three-subject spiral notebooks, washable markers, and zip lock bags.
Supplement distributions will take place throughout the school year. Supplies will be distributed to the Mineral County Board of Education so that all students are prepared and ready to learn.
Monetary donations are welcome. Checks should be made payable to County United Way, 113A S. Centre St., Cumberland, MD 21502, with School Supply Drive noted on the check memo.
