The Salvation Army Joins Forces With Walmart to “Stuff the Bus” for Kids in Need

Walmart and The Salvation Army are teaming up to provide new school supplies to local children in need during the “Stuff the Bus” campaign event from Friday, August 7, 2020 to Sunday, August 9, 2020 from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

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 event in is one of more than 4,500 similar events taking place at Walmart stores across the country. When shoppers visit Walmart from August 7th to the 9th, they can purchase and drop off requested items at Salvation Army collection bins at the front of each store.

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.

List of participating Connecticut Walmart Locations:

Cromwell, Groton, Hamden, Milford, North Windham, Norwalk, Shelton, Stratford, Wallingford, Waterbury.

List of participating Rhode Island Walmart Locations:

Coventry, Cranston, Newport, North Kingstown, North Smithfield, Providence, Warwick, Westerly.

For those unable to make it to a participating Walmart store that day, there is a searchable online registry with all the items needed; each item requires just one click to purchase.

Walmart and The Salvation Army have collaborated for more than 30 years in an effort to meet local community needs. Supporters like Walmart help The Salvation Army serve more than 23 million Americans each year through a range of social services that help them overcome poverty and economic hardships.

All donations made at “Stuff the Bus” campaign events will remain in the local community and will help The Salvation Army provide back-to-school support to local children in need.
