The United Way of Montgomery, Radford and Floyd’s presents their 8th Annual Stuff the Bus 2017 School Supply Drive on Saturday, July 29, 2017 at the Walmart Supercenter in Christiansburg, VA. Stuff the Bus is a school supply drive for children in need in the New River Valley. Three school buses from Montgomery County, Radford City, and Floyd County will be parked at Walmart from 9 am to 6 pm. On this day, the community is urged to “stuff the bus” with school supply donations to send local children back to school prepared to learn. Please come by and purchase some supplies! Items Needed: • Backpacks • Pink Erasers • Protractors • Lunchboxes • Safety Scissors • Compass • Binders • Washable Markers • Graph Paper • Folders with Pockets • Colored Pencils • Crayons • Calculators • Spiral Notebooks • Glue Sticks • Pens • Notebook Paper • Pointed Scissors • 3 or 5 Subject Spiral Notebooks • Erasable Ball Point Pens • Rulers • 5-tab Index Dividers • No. 2 Pencils • 3" X 5" Index Cards • Highlighters Additionally, seven locations throughout the community will have drop bins available for donations throughout July and ending on Monday, July 31st. Those locations are: • Montgomery: Kroger on South Main St. in Blacksburg and Dollar General in Riner • Radford: Radford Public Library and Dollar General • Floyd: Floyd Tourism and Chamber of Commerce Office, Dollar General and Slaughter’s Supermarket. All items received in a specific community will be distributed to children in need within that community. All donations stay local to serve the needs of local children. Distribution of the school supplies this year will be through local partner charities and through partnering with local school systems to provide supplies for teachers who identify student needs.
