The Salvation Army of San Antonio 2025 Stuff the Bus

The Salvation Army of San Antonio is gearing up for this year's "Stuff the Bus" Back-to-School Supply Drive on Saturday, August 2, and we're calling on the community to help make it a success.

Our goal is simple but meaningful: to provide essential school and hygiene supplies to 650 elementary-aged children across San Antonio. With the rising cost of living, many families are facing hard choices. Your support helps ease that burden—and sets kids up for a confident start to the new school year.

How it works:

We've partnered with four Walmart locations to serve as drop-off sites. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on August 2, volunteers will be on-site collecting new backpacks, notebooks, pencils, folders, glue, hygiene kits, and other essential items. You can also donate through our Walmart School Supply Wish List, host an internal drive at your business, or make a monetary gift.

Where to Donate:

  • Walmart De Zavala (5555 De Zavala Rd) on August 2nd from 10 AM to 3 PM
  • Walmart Bandera/1604 (12550 Leslie Rd, Helotes) on August 2nd from 10 AM to 3 PM
  • Walmart Potranco/1604 (11210 Potranco Rd) on August 2nd from 10 AM to 3 PM
  • Walmart Castroville (1151 US-90, Castroville) on August 2nd from 10 AM to 3 PM
  • Drop off at The Salvation Army at 521 W. Elmira Street, San Antonio, TX 78212 

Why it matters:

The supplies collected will support families served by The Salvation Army's Emergency Family Shelter, Community Youth Center, the Client-Based Housing Assistance Program, and the Shoe-In program.

Want to help?

We're still in need of volunteers for August 2 in all four of our locations. After that, we will need help sorting, packing, check-in, and logistics. To sign up, email the Volunteer Coordinator, Tonna Williamson, at [email protected].

Corporate and civic groups are also encouraged to get involved by hosting a school supply drive. Contact Corporate Relations Manager, Orlando Garza, at [email protected].

For all other questions, call (210) 352-2000 for more information.

Let's come together to ensure no child starts school without the basics. Thank you for standing with us—and with San Antonio's kids.
