Here we go again!
We're lighting up downtown Topeka for the 10th year of Stuff the Bus, the city’s longest-running school supply drive—benefiting thousands of kids and teens across our 14 Club locations. Join us in making sure every child starts the school year ready to learn, lead, and thrive.
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 $142,000 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.
