United Way’s Stuff the Bus initiative ensures students have the school supplies they need to succeed. Volunteers and donors come together across the U.S. to pack and distribute thousands of backpacks, which empowers students and eases the financial burden on low-income families. This effort to support education and strengthen communities has made a lasting impact from Lake County, Florida, to Washington, D.C..
