La Porte Police Department “FILL THE BUS” Campaign
In preparation for the upcoming Back to School Bash, the La Porte Community Partners invite you to support local students by participating in our “FILL THE BUS” School Supply Drive on Friday, July 25, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Kroger parking lot located at 1300 W. Fairmont Parkway, La Porte.
Our goal is to provide up to 600 children with school supplies and backpacks needed. We welcome the opportunity to partner with businesses and/or organizations to help with this endeavor and we are asking the community to help supply composition notebooks, dry erase markers, mesh pencil bags, notebook paper, #2 pencils, Crayola crayons (24ct), Fiskars Scissors (5”), 3-ring binders (2”), colored pencils, blue pens, black pens, highlighters, and Kleenex.
To be eligible to receive a backpack, parents are required to pre-register online using the link: http://www.laportetx.gov/backtoschool
In addition to the “FILL THE BUS” event, we are accepting monetary donations via check and PayPal. Donations by check can be sent to the La Porte Police Department, 3001 North 23rd Street, La Porte, TX 77571. The checks should be made out to LPCPAAA in care of “Fill the Bus”. You may also make donations via PayPal @RotaryLPTX, please note “Fill the Bus.” All proceeds directly support the Back to School Bash, taking place on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at the Baker 6th Grade Campus.
With the support of our generous community, we are confident we can reach our goal. For questions or partnership opportunities, please contact Shaye Lister at 281-842-3172 or email [email protected]. Stay up to date by following us on Facebook: @LaPortePoliceDepartment
Together, we can FILL THE BUS — and set our students up for success!
