 "Every child deserves a quality education to help them reach their academic potential. Stuff the Bus is a grassroots effort that will help get basic school supplies in the hands of students and families who need them most," said Kim.

“Giving Children Hope is thrilled to partner with Assemblywoman Kim and community sponsors,” said Christine Sanchez, director of community programs for Giving Children Hope. “The Stuff the Bus Drive makes a difference for our students and is another example of our community’s ongoing commitment to support Anaheim and Stanton schools.”
