Fill that Bus! 2024

  Join Us:  

Fill that Bus! is a community-wide school supply drive that aims to stock the shelves at Crayons2Calculators so Durham Public Schools teachers can get the supplies they need to fuel student success, completely free of charge. July 10 - August 9, 2024

  The Impact: 

Together, we can help ensure all students have the supplies they need to be academically successful. Last year Crayons2Calculators distributed more than $180,000 of school supplies to local teachers, and the demand for supplies is only growing. We need your help to meet this growing need! We proudly serve every school in the Durham Public Schools District providing classroom essentials ranging from pencils to notebooks, art supplies, paper and more.
