United Way of West Florida is proud to host its annual Stuff the Bus school supply drive on Thursday, July 24, from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., to help students in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties start the school year fully prepared.

Each year, thousands of local students head back to school without the supplies they need to succeed. Teachers often spend an average of $820 of their own money annually to bridge this gap for students in need. Stuff the Bus ensures that every child—regardless of their financial situation—has access to the basic tools required to learn and thrive.

Community members are encouraged to stop by one of five participating Walmart locations to donate essential school supplies. Volunteers and United Way staff will be collecting donations throughout the day at the Walmarts on Mobile Highway, Creighton Road, Blue Angel Parkway, Pea Ridge, and Tiger Point. The Navarre and Pea Right Walmart locations will accept donations from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

In partnership with Escambia County Public Schools, Santa Rosa County District Schools, WEAR Cares, Cat Country 98.7, News Radio 92.3, and the Pensacola News Journal, Stuff the Bus stands as the only school supplies drive endorsed by both Escambia and Santa Rosa School Districts.

“We believe every child deserves the tools they need to succeed, regardless of their circumstances,” said Laura Gilliam, President/CEO at United Way of West Florida. “Stuff the Bus is an opportunity for the community to come together and make a meaningful difference in the lives of local students.”

The pair led the congressional committee that investigated the Jan. 6 , 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
