Stuff the bus with school supplies on SUNDAY

If you went by Fred Meyer to donate to the Stuff the Bus event - it has been moved to Sunday!

Help the Shoreline Schools Transportation Department fill one of its school buses full of supplies on Sunday, Aug. 4 for the Shoreline Back to School event.

Transportation staff will park the bus at Fred Meyer in Shoreline (18325 Aurora) from 10am to 4pm, accepting donations of school supplies, clothing and hygiene items for the Back to School event. Financial contributions will also be accepted.

One in five Shoreline students are in need.

The annual Shoreline Back to School event provides school supplies, hair cuts, and clothing assistance to Shoreline School District families with low incomes and/or circumstances that make it challenging to adequately prepare their children for school.

The Back to School event itself will be held from 12:30 to 4pm Saturday, Aug. 24 at the North City building, 816 NE 190th, Shoreline.

To register, volunteer or view a list of needed items, visit Back To School Consortium or call the information line at 206-393-4916. Registration closes Aug. 16.

In 2012, more than 1,000 students received needed school supplies and clothing at the Back to School event.
