Tipsy HenStuff The Bus 2026
For 25 years, Stuff the Bus has helped equip Lakeland students for the school year. This milestone edition, organized by the Kiwanis Club of Lakeland and the Kiwanis Club of Citrus Center, aims to put supplies into the hands of nearly ten thousand children at all 29 Lakeland elementary schools. Volunteer roles include sorting and packing donated items and transporting boxes to schools. Drivers with larger vehicles such as SUVs, trucks, or vans, or pairs of vehicles working together, are especially useful for deliveries. Businesses and organizations can take part by serving as public supply drop-off sites. To register a location, email Colleen Walsh at collrwalsh@gmail.com or Randy Dell at randy.dell@yahoo.com. If volunteering is not possible, financial contributions are welcomed. A volunteer sign-up link will be posted soon.
