Thu. (Aug. 3, 2023) 11:00AM - 2:00PM United Way's STUFF THE BUSS at MTSU (corner of Greenland Drive and Middle TN Blvd.). Drop off you donations to stuff backpacks and enjoy music and a food truck. First launched in 2012, the Stuff the Bus initiative has since provided over 22,000 local students with school supplies; last year alone they collected almost 1,500 backpacks. With current estimates showing parents spend about $1,000 per child to cover the costs of school supplies, technology and extracurriculars, organizers hope to collect enough donations to create even more fully loaded backpacks this year.  United Way is partnering with MTSU’s College of Education on this year’s Stuff the Bus, which is a community-wide initiative … to collect school supplies and get them into the hands of children who need them most.
