Stuff the Bus

Food for Thought is the Mount Tabor UMC food pantry for Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools. It is located at the WSFCS social workers office. School social workers deliver food to families known to teachers and administrators as being in need. Your food donations help restock the pantry.

NHES is our partner school in the Winston-Salem Forsyth County system. Mount Tabor UMC administers a Backpack Program at NHES, collects much needed school supplies each year through Stuff the Bus, and provides volunteers for various other activities at North Hills. Please remember that 25% of all families in our geographic area have difficulty providing food and school supplies for their children and that NHES serves a particularly impoverished area. 

School Supply Needs:

• Tissues

• Wet-wipes

• Hand sanitizer

• Composition style notebooks (not spiral)

• Zip-lock bags (both sandwich and gallon size)

• Colored pencils

• Markers (regular and dry erase)

• Dry erase erasers

• Post-it notes

• Masking tape

• Pocket folders (with and without prongs)

• 3x5 index cards. 

Please note: NHES already has an oversupply of loose-leaf paper, folders, pencils, sharpies, glue, spiral notebooks, 3-ring binders, mechanical pencils and pens, scissors, paper clips, and crayons. They don’t need any more of these items this year.
