Donate Books, Support Early Literacy, and Help Empower
Education Success in Central Iowa!

Contribute to Early Literacy and Help Foster Education Success Across Central Iowa!

Stuff the Bus is United Way of Central Iowa’s annual book drive that brings together corporate partners, community members, and organizations to donate new and gently used children’s books. These books are distributed to United Way-funded childcare coalition centers, as well as other childcare centers and child-serving programs across Dallas, Polk, and Warren counties. By supporting early literacy, the drive plays a crucial role in promoting Education Success for children and students across central Iowa.
