July – Learning Resource Center

Play a part in ensuring that students start the year off with the supplies they need, by participating in the 2015 Stuff the Bus campaign.

Join us in donating new school supplies at the Learning Resource Center of Polk County, Inc.

Stuff the Bus is Central Florida’s largest back-to-school campaign. The goal of this organized community effort is to collect new school supplies to distribute to public elementary schools in an effort to help students and families who cannot afford to purchase the supplies on their own.

The Lakeland Kiwanis Club is sponsoring the area campaign they first began in 2001, marking its fourteenth year in Lakeland.

The Club will deliver the collected supplies to 28 public elementary schools within the city on Wednesday, August 19.

Traditional school supplies such as pens, pencils, wide rule paper, folders with prongs, crayons, markers, backpacks, glue, and erasers are needed as well as copy paper, facial tissue, index cards, highlighters, hand sanitizer, zip lock bags, and pencil boxes.

Bring your purchased school supplies to the LRC office located at 1628 South Florida Avenue in Lakeland between 7:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on Monday through Thursday and 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. on Fridays by Monday, August 10. You’ll find a large “Stuff the Bus” box waiting to be filled in the lobby.

The young students in need will appreciate your donation, and we know you’ll feel good about participating.

Join us in this effort to help area students boost their self-esteem and start the school year off on the right foot!
