Join us for our 18th Annual Stuff the Bus donation drive for NEW school supplies. Stuff the Bus is United Way of San Luis Obispo County's annual school supply drive! The supplies are collected at stores throughout SLO County and donated to local school districts to be distributed to children in need. There are seven main donation collection sites.
Seven primary bus collection sites:
- Arroyo Grande: Walmart
- Atascadero: State Hospital and Staples
- Cambria: Cookie Crock Market
- Paso Robles: Walmart
- San Luis Obispo: Target and Staples
Volunteers are needed throughout the weekend, August 7-9, 2026. Volunteers will greet donors, pass out shopping lists at the stores to promote the opportunity to donate school supplies, receive the daily donations at the bus sites, sort and tally the donations. This is a great community service opportunity for teens and families too!
Volunteer opportunities include:
- Greeters
