Stuff the Bus

See you next year for Stuff the Bus 2026

Each year, the Grove City Area United Way holds its Stuff the Bus program.  The purpose of the program is to provide new backpacks and school supplies to students in need who reside within the Grove City Area School District in Grove City, PA.

Please read the 2025 Stuff the Bus Info Letter for information on the program.

Families must complete a Request for Assistance Form to be considered for the program.  Supplies are provided on a first-come first-served basis, so requests should be submitted in a timely manner.  Although we want to assist as many families as possible, there may not be enough supplies to meet all of the requests.

The distribution process takes place the week before the first day of school.  Families requesting assistance will receive more information about when and where to pick up their supplies.  NOTE:  Submitting a request does not guarantee that we will be able to provide your student with school supplies.

Donations of new backpacks and school supplies, and monetary donations, are always welcome and can be brought to our office on Monday, Wednesday or Friday at 119 S. Broad Street (please call first to be sure someone will be there).  Monetary donations can also be made here.  Please indicate Stuff the Bus in the Donor Notes box.

Thank you to the following businesses, churches and community members who made our 2025 Stuff the Bus School Supplies Program possible.  Your generosity is overwhelming!
