Every child deserves to start school ready to learn and succeed.

Each summer, United Way’s Stuff the Bus campaign brings our community together to ensure local students have the tools they need to thrive in the classroom. Individuals, businesses, and community partners donate new school supplies—or sponsor complete backpacks—to help children in Forsyth and Dawson Counties start the school year confident and prepared.

From crayons to calculators, every item collected helps level the playing field for students and relieves financial pressure for families. Together, we’re not just filling backpacks—we’re fueling futures.

Join us in giving every child the opportunity to learn, grow, and dream big. United, we learn.
