Catch us on Friday, August 23rd from 10 AM to 2 PM at Vanderwerf’s Your Independent Grocer in Port Elgin—and let’s load that bus full of school supplies for local students!

We’re collecting donations for The Backpack Program, which is 100% powered by the generosity of our incredible community. Every marker, binder, and backpack you donate goes straight to a child in Bruce or Grey who needs it.

Here’s how you can help:

• Bring new school supplies to donate
• Or make a financial contribution on-site (we turn dollars into backpacks!)

Why it matters:
Since 2005, United Way Bruce Grey has delivered over 37,964 backpacks to students in need. In 2024 alone, we reached 2,686 kids—thanks to people like you showing up and giving back.

Join us at Stuff The Bus and help ensure every local student starts the school year ready to thrive—no matter what’s in their wallet.

We’ll also be broadcasting LIVE with 101.7 The One, Cool 94.5, and CKNX from 10 AM to 2 PM. Come say hi and be part of the buzz!
