Unmask Your Inner Superhero
Volunteer for KidSpree and Stuff the Bus
You can be the hero to a child in need! Volunteer or donate to KidSpree and Stuff the Bus.
 KidSpree: Our 18th Annual Kidspree is on Sunday, July 27th. Volunteers will help deserving kids shop for much needed back-to-school clothing at Kohl's in San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles. Donate and help us reach our goal of providing 250 shopping adventures for local students. Each child receives a $100 gift card and shops with a caring adult volunteer. We also need help with event set-up, check-in, and shopping with children. Bilingual and/or male shoppers are always in demand! Fingerprinting is required for all volunteer shoppers and the deadline for appointments is TODAY! Call United Way at (805) 541-1234 or visit our website for more information, to donate or to submit the volunteer interest form.
Stuff the Bus: From August 11-15, we need your help to literally Stuff the Bus with school supplies at Target, Walgreens and WalMart locations in SLO County! Look for the bus at one of our collection sites to donate, or sign up to collect and organize donations. Volunteers are needed at each bus during the week, from 4:00-7:00PM. Sign up online at www.volunteerslo.org.
 2014 Stuff the Bus Collection Site Contest: All SLO County businesses are invited to host their own Stuff the Bus collection sites for employees, clients or the public. This year's theme is "Unmask Your Inner Superhero", and prizes will awarded to the workplaces with the most creative superhero themed collection site. Pictured at right are winners from the 2013 contest, Rosetta, Pacific Eye and Etna Interactive.
