HUTCHINSON, Kan. —The Salvation Army is teaming up with Walmart to provide new school supplies to local children in need during the Stuff the Bus campaign at Hutchinson Walmart from now through Sunday.
For kids preparing for the upcoming school year, school supplies remain critical to their success. In light of COVID-19, The Salvation Army has adapted its services to ensure that children in every community can continue receiving the educational support they deserve. This year, the Stuff the Bus campaign in Hutchinson is one of more than 4,500 similar events taking place at Walmart stores across the country.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, The Salvation Army has provided more than 65 million meals through a combination of prepared meals and food boxes, 1.45 million nights of safe shelter, and emotional and spiritual support to more than 778,000 people, in addition to the financial assistance, hygiene kits, and youth programs the organization provides in almost every zip code in America.
All donations made at Stuff the Bus events will remain in the community to help The Salvation Army provide back-to-school support to local children in need.
