Fox 8 Stuff the Bus
Event Information
WHAT: Fox 8 Stuff the Bus to Benefit for SC4K
Each year, hundreds of Clevelanders donate thousands of new school supply items to kids in need through the annual Fox 8 Stuff the Bus event. Now in its 19th year, this event is coordinated by Cleveland's local Fox TV affiliate, Fox 8 News, with live broadcasts from the bus all day to promote the event's sponsors, donors, and Shoes and Clothes for Kids!
Meanwhile, at SC4K, dozens of volunteers are on hand to "un-stuff" each bus, count and inventory all donated items, and stock the shelves of the SC4K Free Store so that items can get to the students who need them the most.
WHEN: 2026 Date TBD
The event takes place on a Friday in July, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
WHERE: Fox 8 Headquarters (5800 South Marginal Way, Cleveland, OH) and SC4K (15500 South Waterloo Road, Cleveland, OH)
Look for the bus and event tent in front of the station! Meanwhile, the SC4K facility is bustling with activity as volunteers and staff un-stuff each bus and count every item donated. It's a great way to involve your workplace team or community group to help more kids have the tools they need to start the school year excited and ready to learn.
