Area Temps has officially announced its partnership with Shoes and Clothes for Kids (SC4K) for the annual Stuff the Bus campaign, a regional donation drive dedicated to equipping local students with the necessary tools for academic success. From June 25 through July 23, community members can drop off essential school supplies at any of Area Temps’ five regional branch offices or make direct monetary contributions online. The initiative will conclude with a hands-on volunteer day on July 24, where participants will help sort and distribute the items to prepare the future workforce of the community.
Methods to Support the Stuff the Bus Campaign
Northeast Ohio residents and businesses can actively participate in the Stuff the Bus campaign through three primary methods to help fill the regional donation gap:
-
Drop Off Supplies: Bring physical school supplies to any official branch location between June 25 and July 23. Local businesses can also contact their Area Temps account representatives directly to coordinate a convenient donation pickup.
-
Monetary Donations: Community members who prefer online giving can securely donate funds directly to SC4K online to support bulk supply purchases.
-
Volunteer Responsibilities: Give back through service by joining the Area Temps team on July 24 to assist in distributing the collected materials to local families.
