Grand Junction, CO The annual Stuff the Bus school supply donation drive sponsored by Townsquare Media begins Wednesday, July 6, 2022, at Mesa Mall! 


Anyone with new school supplies to donate to local children can drop them off in the white activity bus parked in the middle of Mesa Mall in Clock Court before the drive ends on Monday, Aug. 1. 


Volunteers will “unstuff” the bus at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 2, and sort the supplies into boxes for each elementary and middle school. High schools will receive all monetary donations to Stuff the Bus. Monetary donations for high schools can be made through the D51 Foundation website at d51foundation.org/stuff-the-bus.


Parents who are in need of supplies can request assistance by talking to the office staff at their child’s school after the Stuff the Bus drive is completed.
