HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Walmart and The Salvation Army are joining forces to provide new school supplies to local children in need during the “Stuff the Bus” campaign event at the Hutchinson Walmart on Saturday, Aug. 3, 2019.

As part of a nationwide effort, the “Stuff the Bus” campaign event in Hutchinson is one of nearly 3,000 similar events taking place at Walmart stores across the country. In-store shoppers will receive lists of supplies needed, and all they have to do to participate is purchase and drop off the requested items at The Salvation Army collection bins located at the front of each store.

For those unable to make it to the store that day, there is a searchable online registry with all the items needed; each item requires just one click to purchase. You can find it at www.walmart.com/lists/view-events-registry-items.

Walmart and The Salvation Army have collaborated for more than 30 years in an effort to meet local community needs. Supporters like Walmart help The Salvation Army serve more than 23 million Americans each year through a range of social services, helping them overcome poverty and economic hardships. All donations made at “Stuff the Bus” campaign events will remain in the local community and will help The Salvation Army provide back-to-school support to local children in cooperation with our local service partners.
