From now through August 1, 2025, United Way of Northeast Florida, Impact Clay, Clay Education Fund, and First Coast News are coming together once again to Stuff the Bus in Duval and Clay Counties. This annual initiative supports local classrooms, teachers, and students in need.

Why It Matters: Nearly 40% of households in Northeast Florida struggle to afford basic necessities. Over a third of residents live in or near poverty. By donating as an individual or organizing a school supply drive with Stuff the Bus, you can directly address this issue and transform the lives of students in Duval and Clay County.

Your Impact:

Duval County: Donations support eight Full Service Schools Family Resource Centers, benefiting 151 schools and more than 100,000 students.

Clay County: Contributions aid the Clay County Education Foundation, supporting 47 schools and over 40,000 students.
