We too have stuff the bus (with school supplies) in the fall every year. <br />I have sewn and donated cloth bags and many other items to our local library to sell. The money they earn helps fund some of their special programs. The items don't sell for much. <br /> Some items I've made and donated: pencil toppers and embroidered bookmarks for each season. Several of the kids collected each one starting their collection. <br /> One summer the reading program theme was dinosaurs, so I embroidered T-Shirts for the staff,text: Dino-brianian {leaving off the letters Li} with silhouettes of dinosaurs. All projects benefit the wonderful public local library - maybe others will do the same - isn't it wonderful how much we can 'gift' with sewing talents!

Here in Florida we have an event called stuff the bus where in August school buses are parked in a few shopping centers where donations of school supplies are collected stuffed into the bus.
