GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — Stuff the Bus is back again.
Mesa County Valley School District 51, along with Townsquare Media, has started its annual school supply donation drive. Residents can drop off new school supplies at a white activity bus at Mesa Mall in the Clock Court. The donation drive ends Monday, July 29.
The supplies go to designated elementary and middle schools, according to the school district.
To see the school supply lists, visit the school district website. The most needed items include pencils, colored pencils, markers, crayons, notebooks, folders, glue sticks, scissors, Kleenex boxes, erasers, headphones and Ziploc bags.
"It is important to note that 45% of District 51 students reside in households that meet federal income requirements for assistance with meals. Back to school shopping can be a challenging undertaking for many of these families. Your generous donations can make a significant difference in the lives of our students," according to D51.
