Back 2 School Blast

Back 2 School Blast is Aug. 16 with free food, free haircuts, free backpacks and more from noon to 4 p.m. at the Civic Center. Kids who haven’t pre-registered for backpacks are still able to get one on a first come basis.

“Many of our kids need more than crayons and calculators,” Kim Skornogoski, United Way’s marketing director, said in a release. “We know that if students don’t have shampoo to wash their hair, or have a toothache from not brushing their teeth, they can’t focus as well in the classroom.”

Many lessons involve computers and other technology, making inexpensive earbuds or headphones as important as notebooks and pencils.

Now in its 15th year, the Stuff the Bus event has grown, reaching more and more students in need.

Skornogoski said last year people donated more than 15,000 items.

“Each year, the community amazes us with their generosity,” Skornogoski said. “And as a result, we are able to help more and more kids.”

Topping the list of needed items are backpacks, composition notebooks, earbuds and dry erase markers.

People can volunteer, find a list of needed supplies and donate here.

Donations can also be mailed to P.O. Box 1343, Great Falls, MT 59403. To sponsor a student is $50.
