Salvation Army, Walmart to hold 'Stuff the Bus' school supply drive Saturday in Gardnerville
The Salvation Army is holding school supply drives at approximately 3,000 locations across the country, including Saturday, August 3 at the Walmart store in Gardnerville.
Walmart Located at 1511 Grant St., Gardnerville is one of the 3,000 locations participating. The Salvation Army will be "stuffing the bus" this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Walmart shoppers online and in-store will receive a list of suggested supplies to help fill Salvation Army bus during the “Stuff the Bus” campaign event. The goal is to provide new school supplies to children in need of a fresh start to the new school year.
The simple act of providing school supplies to students in need provides them a boost of self-confidence and sets them up for a positive and successful school year. 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 children in need.
Walmart and The Salvation Army have collaborated for more than 30 years with a common mission: to meet needs in their local communities.
