STUFF THE BUS

Join Us In Our Stuff The Bus Campaign - Our First Annual School Supply Drive

News 13 is teaming up with O'Connor and The Department of Health and Human Services to help our children get the school supplies they need.

The 2009-2010 school year is upon us, but before the first bell rings, many students in our communities still need clothes and supplies. This year the need is greater than ever as the economy continues to affect families and children who may find their book bags empty. By adding a little extra to your shopping cart you can help a student in need. We not only want the kids and teens to be academically prepared but we want them to be confident as they begin a new school year.

You can help the Stuff the Bus Campaign by dropping off any of the supplies listed below to our studios beginning Monday August 24th and ending September 4th.

We thank you for your generous donations.

HOW TO HELP

Get your business involved by collecting school supplies to help children in your community. Drop off your supplies at our studios at 81 Northport Drive Portland, ME 04103
