11th Annual Pack the Bus School Supply Drive

Thank You for Making a Difference! 

This year, SunLine hosted ‘Pack the Bus’ for the eleventh time, co-sponsored by Alpha Media, KESQ, and Walmart.

The beneficiary for the 2025 Pack the Bus event was a well-known nonprofit organization in the Coachella Valley that will distribute the donations locally: Boys and Girls Club of Cathedral City. SunLine thanks our community for helping "pack the bus" with backpacks and school supplies.

Donations included new and unused. Backpacks, safety scissors, #2 pencils, mechanical pencils and note book paper were among the most donated school supplies.

Thank you again, Coachella Valley!
