JOIN US TO DELIVER STUFF THE BUS SCHOOL SUPPLIES TO PARNTER AGENCIES
With many of Nashville’s at-risk neighborhoods recovering from the recent flood, more Nashville students than ever will lack the supplies they need to go back to school prepared for success. Join us for the 3rd National Day of Action as we STUFF THE BUS with school supplies for children and teens served through United Way’s Neighborhood Family Resource Centers and partner agencies working daily to equip the youth of Nashville’s neighborhoods for success.
Volunteer to deliver backpacks of school supplies for delivery to partner agencies! We will meet at one of the United Way Family Resource Centers benefiting from Stuff the Bus. You can see first hand how your dollars are at work in neighborhoods.
