Stuff the Bus Back-To School Fair 2026 | DATE TBA

Amazing Grace Academy | 2238 E Inner Springer Lp., Palmer AK

Stuff the Bus 2025 was an amazing success! We were thrilled to have great weather and to see so many Valley families stay, enjoy food and activities, visit our array of awesome local vendors, and make some new friends. Our heartfelt gratitude to each and every volunteers who invested their time and energy into making the day run smoothly. Big thanks are also due our partner agencies, who provided needed resources and services, especially: Mat-Su Public Health, Bright Lights Book Project, turn-A-leaf thrift stores, Kids Kupboard, the Lions Vision Trailer, and Palmer Fire & Rescue. We would like to especially thank Star Sakis and family for their very generous donation of brand new winter gear for kids of all ages.

Our greatest thanks to our partners at Amazing Grace Academy and Palmer Seventh Day Adventist Church, whose beautiful school and grounds are the location for this community event every year. We couldn’t have done it without you!
