Stuffing the Bus with United Way of Pioneer Valley for 2022
As the summer draws to a close and school buses rejoin the morning commuter fray, United Way of Pioneer Valley once again rallied their local partners, including Meyers Brothers Kalicka, P.C., to gather school supplies for their annual Stuff the Bus Drive. United Way explains, “Stuff the Bus is our annual program to bring school supplies to students who are homeless. We work with every public school district in Hampden County, South Hadley, and Granby to make sure all youth in need receive a backpack filled with all the supplies they need for the school year. For the upcoming school year, we expect to donate roughly 1400 backpacks holding pencils, paper, pens, art supplies, and more.”
At MBK, our staff contributed approximately 500 items including notebooks, folders, filler paper, erasers, sharpeners, composition books, index cards, pencils, highlighters, crayons, markers, binders, rulers, notecards, erasers, and colored pencils. While some items were directly contributed by our staff, Chelsea Russell, Matt Nash, and Eric Pinsoneault were able to purchase 376 items on behalf of the staff from a cash pool to help ensure United Way’s priority items were in good supply.
Although the Stuff the Bus Drive for the start of the school year has wrapped up, more help is always welcome. United Way of Pioneer Valley accepts donations of school supplies and monetary donations year round. You can learn more about how to donate at https://www.uwpv.org/stuff-the-bus
