It’s almost time to go back to school which means school supply shopping! For some kids in the tri-state though, shopping for school supplies is a luxury they unfortunately don’t get, and every child should have the right tools for an education, so we need your help with stuffing a bus FULL of school supplies for these kids!

Deaconess Health System and Townsquare Media present Stuff The Bus! We will be collecting school supplies for kids in the community. The school supplies will be going to the Dream Center, the Boys & Girls Club, and select schools around the tri-state that have students that can use them the most!

You can help out by joining us for Stuff The Bus on August 7th and 8th. On August 7th from 9AM-3PM we will be at Deaconess collecting supplies, and on August 8th from 10AM-4PM you can drop off supplies at Target on the East side of Evansville or either Deaconess location collecting school supplies!

If you won’t be able to make it out to Stuff The Bus, have school supply drop off locations where you can bring by school supplies anytime to Deaconess hospital, Deaconess Gateway, or at Townsquare Media’s downtown office.

We really appreciate your help in making sure every child has access to everything they need for a great school year!
