Going back to school can look very different from family to family. The truth is that there are many who worry about having school supplies for their child. For some it's a battle they face every year and for others this may be something they have to face this year. We never want anyone to feel like they may be alone in this situation and we are here to help wherever we can.
In the past, The Salvation Army and Walmart had a partnership program called "Stuff the Bus"... we accomplish this by collecting school supplies that are purchased or donated then stuffed into backpacks and given out to high schools or under-served schools.
Donation boxes will be available at Merrillville Walmart on July 18th - 10am - 2pm
