About Stuff the Bus

Since 2005 our mission has been to provide a level playing field for all children in Southern Kentucky. We make sure that every child walks in on the first day of school with the essential supplies needed to be able to connect with the teacher and classmates. By creating this level playing field, we create a chance for each child to have a successful school year.

Every single item we collect stays locally with children, teachers, and classrooms in Southern Kentucky. As of now, we are able to reach kids from Kindergarten thru High School and all benefit from the supplies of Stuff the Bus!

We have achieved this through year-round fundraising and fun filled event’s with local business partners, organizations, and countless donations from you and the community as a whole.

After a heartwarming response from the community. We are now able to offer even more to the community in need. Ranging from essential school supplies to start the academic year, backpack food for children on weekends and holidays. Scholarships for high school students, and meals for families in need during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Also, Stuff the Bus awards grants to help in the funding of other local agencies in need that have the same core values as the Stuff the bus Foundation.

Stuff the Bus Grants: During an open grant window an applicant may apply for a grant from the Stuff the Bus Foundation. Grants are awarded at the discretion of the Stuff the Bus Foundation and board.

Stuff the Bus Scholarship: Each July the Stuff the Bus Foundation awards multiple scholarships to deserving high school and college students. these can be applied for thru the WKU College Heights Foundation.
