United Way of Bemidji Area and Paul Bunyan Broadcasting are hosting Stuff A Bus, a K-12 school supply drive to benefit children attending Bemidji Area Schools. Donations can be dropped off at both Lueken’s Village Foods locations and the Tourist Information Center/Visit Bemidji (by Paul and Babe) Wednesday, August 16 – Sunday, August 27, 2023. Donating to United Way’s Stuff A Bus School Supply Drive is one way you can help meet the basic needs, health, and education of our local students and their families and empower them to be successful in school.
Supplies will be distributed through Bemidji Area Schools the week of back-to-school orientation, August 28-September 1, 2023. Families in need of school supplies should contact Lindsey Olding, with the Bemidji School District, at 218-368-1059.
Stuff A Bus gives special thanks to Bemidji School District, Lueken’s Village Foods, Visit Bemidji, and Bemidji Parks and Recreation.
