During the last school year more than 23,000 children were identified as homeless in San Diego County. Students experiencing homelessness and in foster homes face many hardships – having the right school supplies shouldn’t be one of them.

Students equipped with the school supplies they need are able to participate fully in the classroom from the first bell. Every student should have that opportunity.

You can play a significant role in a child’s life when school reopens in the fall.

Please join with others by supporting the annual Stuff the Bus school supply drive conducted by Beth Israel in partnership with the SDCOE Homeless Education Services Program and the San Diego County Credit Union.

Volunteers will be collecting your NEW school supplies as donations on Friday, July 15, during the Erev Shabbat Service. That evening on site you also will be able to participate in the Stuff the Bus drive by purchasing school supplies for donation.
