What is Stuff the Bus?
Stuff the Bus is a community-wide supply drive collecting much-needed school items for Club members who participate in our before and after-school programs.
Since launching as a Leadership Greater Topeka project, this campaign has raised over $167,000 in supplies and funds for local kids.
We're calling on individuals, businesses, and organizations to help us fill backpacks with possibility.
Why it matters
This campaign serves 4 school districts, 14 Club locations, and impacts thousands of local youth. Every pencil, backpack, hygiene item, or game donated helps our members feel prepared, supported, and ready to succeed.
