Needs From: Konza United Way

Join us for Stuff the Bus 2026, a high-energy community event dedicated to helping local students start the school year prepared and confident!

Volunteers will be stationed at Walmart in Manhattan, KS, collecting donated school supplies and engaging with shoppers to support this impactful cause. As a volunteer, you’ll help greet customers, share information about the event, and encourage donations of essential school items like backpacks, notebooks, and pencils. You may also assist with organizing and sorting collected supplies throughout the day.

This is a fun and meaningful way to give back, connect with others in the community, and make a direct impact on local students and families. Whether you come solo or with a group, your time and enthusiasm will help ensure every child has the tools they need to succeed.

Thank you for volunteering to help our community's charities take advantage of donated truckloads of books, cleaning supplies, household items, and other non-perishables, graciously provided to our community. 

Through this partnership, Konza United Way is proud to coordinate volunteers to oversee the distribution of these items from the warehouse at the former Ag Press building.

Thank you for volunteering to welcome and assist our social service community members in securing donated items to support our community.
