Update: Stuff the Bus Sunday for Shoreline Schools

Editor’s note: This event was moved from Saturday, Aug. 3, to Sunday, Aug. 4. Here's information from Shoreline Public Schools.

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 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., accepting donations of school supplies, clothing and hygiene items for the Back to School event. Financial contributions will also be accepted.

The annual Shoreline Back to School event provides school supplies, haircuts 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 event will be held from 12:30 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24, at the North City building, 816 N.E. 190th, Shoreline.

To register, volunteer or view a list of needed items, visit www.btsconsortium.org or call the information line at 206-393-4916. Registration closes Aug. 16. In addition to the Stuff the Bus drive at Fred Meyer, donation boxes are located throughout Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.

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