TL;DR
The Big Biscuit is launching its first brand-wide school supply collection drive, called 'Stuff the Bus', across its stores in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. The drive, which runs from July 16 to August 12, aims to collect supplies for area students in need.
The Big Biscuit® is revving up for its first brand-wide “Stuff the Bus” school supply collection drive. The company launched the program last year with its five Oklahoma stores and the success of the campaign drove the organization to expand it across all stores in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. Supplies will benefit area students for the coming school year. Stop by any of The Big Biscuit restaurants to drop off donations between July 16 and August 12.
“The Big Biscuit brings people and communities together for the most beloved meal of the day, and our schools are at the heart of our communities. This drive is a great way for us to raise awareness and offer easy access to helping underserved children prepare for a successful year,” says Big Biscuit President Chad Offerdahl. “Every item donated at a Big Biscuit location will be given to local schools and students, allowing us to impact these families and children directly.”
New and unopened items will be accepted at all of The Big Biscuit locations during regular business hours, 6:30 a.m.- 2:30 p.m. Monday-Sunday, July 16-August 12.
School supply items of highest need include:
Calculators, rulers, pencil sharpeners
Pencils, colored pencils, crayons, markers, and Expo markers
Glue sticks, composition notebooks, and single-section notebooks
Card stock, construction paper
Lysol disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer
Wired headphones and earbuds
Backpacks and lunchboxes
Donations collected at each site will be distributed to public school campuses and made available to students who need assistance with school supplies, as determined by school officials.
The Big Biscuit elevates the guest experience by preparing classic breakfast favorites with a twist, serving them with impossibly generous portions, and offering genuine hometown hospitality. The restaurant offers all-day breakfast and lunch options, including dine-in, takeout, and online ordering.
