Over 6,000 supplies were donated and distributed to local schools.

United Way of Bemidji Area thanks the community for their incredible contributions to the United Way of Bemidji Area Stuff A Bus initiative, a K-12 school supply drive.

We would like to give a special thanks to Paul Bunyan Broadcasting and LaValley Industries for helping pack backpacks, and to Lueken's Village Foods for providing space for the drive.

A big shoutout to the businesses that donated or held collection drives, including Visit Bemidji, Delta Dental of Minnesota, Sanford Eye Clinic, Northwoods Lumber Company–Blackduck, and Deerwood Bank–Blackduck.

Because of you, kids in our community are ready for a great school year!
