THE MISSION

Education is an essential building block to achieving financial success.

However, for many families in Denton County, the cost of buying school supplies can be a burden. By providing backpacks and school supplies, we can set students up for academic success, while increasing the economic opportunity of students' families.

35.8% of Denton County students are economically disadvantaged

You can help a child in need kick off the new school year ready to learn and succeed. Participate in our Stuff the Bus campaign by donating new school supplies, school clothes, and/or shoes.

There are three ways to participate:

  1. Purchase and donate items from NISD's Wish List and either deliver in person to Tanger Outlets Fort Worth on Friday, August 9th or Saturday August 10th from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., OR purchase from our Amazon Wish List and ship to our office BEFORE August 8th.
  2. Make a monetary contribution.
