Back-To-School Drive

We are thrilled to announce the return of our Back-to-School Drive, Walgreens & Kindness Bank and Stuff the Bus event in partnership with News 3 Now! This year, we aim to support hundreds of students in our community by providing them with the necessary resources to succeed throughout the academic year. 

There are multiple ways to support our campaign:

• Our Walgreens Back-to-School Drive campaign started on July 1st – August 8th in partnership with the Kindness Bank collecting school supplies at all locations within Dane County.  Please feel free to stop by and purchase items on behalf of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County. 
• Join us for the Stuff-the-Bus kickoff at Metcalfe’s parking lot (726 N Midvale Blvd.) on Monday, August 5th, from 6 AM to 6 PM, and our finale event, also at Metcalfe’s parking lot, on Friday, August 16th, from 6 AM to 6 PM. We are collecting new or gently used school supplies, including backpacks, pencils, folders, crayons, colored pencils, lunchboxes, and any other essential items that students from preschool to 12th grade might need for the 2024-2025 school year.
• If you are unable to attend the kickoff or finale events, you can drop off supplies at any of our Club locations from August 6th to 15th.
• Additionally, if you can’t make a physical drop-off, you can support our students by purchasing items from our Amazon storefront wish list, which will be sent directly to the McKenzie Regional Workforce Center, 
• If you would like to make a monetary donation to help purchase school supplies, you can do so here; please put “Back To School” in the comment section.
