Bryan-College Station will welcome the 25th annual Stuff the Bus school supply drive, organized by the Junior League of Bryan-College Station, Inc., from July 23 to July 26, 2025. This initiative aims to equip thousands of local students from PreK to 12th grade with essential school supplies before the new academic year begins.
The drive will take place at selected Blue Baker and H-E-B locations, where community members can contribute supplies and monetary donations. In the 2024-25 campaign year, the Junior League allocated $70,000 towards purchasing supplies for students within the Bryan Independent School District (BISD) and College Station Independent School District (CSISD).
Support from the community is crucial, as highlighted by the Junior League’s Community Vice President, who noted the significant impact of generous contributions and partnerships. The donations collected during the campaign will be directly distributed through local schools, allowing families who require assistance to contact their respective institutions for help.
This year’s campaign will introduce a new focus on online donations, utilizing flyers and QR codes instead of traditional yellow collection boxes. Organizers encourage residents to donate as little as $1 each, stating that even small contributions can create a substantial impact on students in need. The donations received this year will be utilized to create supply kits specifically for children in BISD and CSISD.
The Stuff the Bus initiative will also kick off with a special profit-sharing event at Kendra Scott and The Original Chop Shop on July 21, 2025, where a portion of sales will support the drive. Community members can further contribute online by visiting the designated Junior League website to make donations easily.
Since its inception, the Junior League of Bryan-College Station has significantly supported the local community, contributing over $4 million in direct financial support to various initiatives. The Stuff the Bus drive exemplifies the organization’s commitment to fostering educational success through community involvement and support.
As the school year approaches, this campaign serves as a reminder of the importance of collaboration within the community to ensure all students have the tools they need to succeed. Families in need are encouraged to reach out to their schools for further assistance and guidance regarding the available resources through the Stuff the Bus drive.
