With the new school year right around the corner, Northwest ISD, United Way of Denton County, and Tanger Outlets Fort Worth are teaming up to help local students start the year prepared and confident.
The annual “Stuff the Bus” campaign invites community members to donate new backpacks, school supplies, and other essentials to support students across Northwest ISD.
Two ways to give:
- Donate online: Support the cause anytime at unitedwaydenton.org/stuffthebus
- Drop off in person: Bring supplies to the big yellow school bus parked near ULTA Beauty at Tanger Outlets Fort Worth on
🗓 Friday, August 1 or Saturday, August 2
🕙 Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
This community-driven effort helps ensure every student has the tools they need for a successful school year, regardless of their family’s financial situation.
“Education is an essential building block to achieving financial success,” said United Way of Denton County on the program’s website. “By providing backpacks and school supplies, we can set students up for academic success, while increasing the economic opportunity of students’ families.”
