South Burlington, VT - Sharpen those pencils, zip up those backpacks, and cue the excitement; Stuff the Bus is back! Vermont Federal Credit Union Vermont Federal is excited to partner with NBC5 for our annual school supplies drive, supporting local students as they head into a brand-new school year.
Back-to-school season can be stressful for families, especially when supply lists add up fast. Notebooks, pens, folders, glue sticks, scissors, rulers—you name it. Every single item you give helps ensure a student is ready to learn and grow from day one. It’s more than just supplies—it’s about giving every child the confidence to start strong and dream big.
Here’s how you can get involved:
- Donate Supplies at Our Branches
From now until August 13, 2025, we’re accepting donations of new school supplies at Vermont Federal Credit Union branches. - Help Us Stuff the Bus
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, August 13th, and join us at Staples Storefront in Williston (1375 Maple Tree Place, Williston, VT 05495). We’ll be onsite from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM with NBC5, collecting last-minute donations, celebrating the community spirit, and packing that bus full of school year magic.
We’re aiming high, and we know we can count on you to help us fill the bus to the brim! Rally your friends, coworkers, and family members and make a day of it. Bring in your donations, spread the word, and help turn a simple act of giving into a lasting impact for kids across our region.
