Stuff the Bus, an annual school supplies donation drive event, is planned from 2-6 p.m. Aug. 5, at the Sequim Walmart, 1284 W. Washington St.
Volunteers will hand out fliers with a combined school supply list, as well as information about back to school events.
Shoppers may choose to purchase items from the supply list to drop in collection bins at the store’s main entrance.
Specific school supply lists by grade are available on each school’s webpage, which can be accessed from www.sequim.k12.wa.us.
A school bus will be parked on site during the event and a school bus driver will be on hand to answer questions about bus routes and school transportation.
School supplies also may be dropped off at the Sequim School District administration office, 503 N. Sequim Ave. The district office is open during the summer from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. (closed from noon-1 p.m.), Monday-Friday.
