Stuff The Bus School Supply Drive

The Department of Public Works and Transportation would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in our Stuff The Bus initiative.  Your generosity and dedication will make an incredible impact on the lives of Prince George’s County’s young learners.  We especially want to thank our event partners, Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) interns for joining us on kick off day, and DPW&T employees who enthusiastically staffed the bus and accepted donations each day - rain or shine. Together, as a community, we collected a record number of school supplies, ensuring that our County’s most vulnerable students begin the school year fully equipped.  Your efforts truly embody our commitment to making a positive difference. Thank you again for your contributions!  All donations will go directly to Prince George’s County elementary, middle, and high schools for distribution.

“Stuff The Bus is our premier community event, and we are Prince George’s Proud for the opportunity to provide families and children with free backpacks and school supplies, especially when finances are tight,” said DPW&T Director Michael D.
