In the 20 years that Stuff-A-Bus has been operating, the event has provided supplies for thousands of children across Oswego County. The Stuff-A-Bus drive began in 2003 as part of United Way’s Success By 6 initiative to provide necessary school supplies to low-income families who are unable to purchase these items on their own. If not for the donations, many students in Oswego County would attend classes without crayons, pencils, paper; the very supplies necessary to facilitate learning. Stuff-A-Bus was started to fulfill two needs in our county: First, the need to bring school supplies for some families. The second need was to provide community members a day to volunteer and give back. The annual event involves partnering with all nine school districts to ensure that all children in need of school supplies receive them—a tradition that helps our children and youth succeed.
