The Stuff the Bus school supply donation drive is under way at Mesa Mall in Grand Junction.
Sponsored by Townsquare Media, the drive will continue through July 31. Participants can drop off donations for Mesa County School District 51 elementary and middle schools at the white activity bus parked in the Clock Court of the mall at 2424 U.S. Highway 6 & 40.
The most sought-after supplies include crayons, erasers, folders, glue sticks, markers, notebooks, pencils, plastic storage bags and scissors. Supply lists are available online at d51schools.org.
Monetary donations for high schools can be made through the D51 Foundation website at d51foundation.org/stuff-the-bus.
Volunteers are scheduled to unpack the bus on Aug. 1 and organize the supplies into boxes designated for each elementary and middle school.
Parents of children in need of school supplies can request assistance by contacting the office staff at their children’s schools.
