Help us make a difference for local students and families this back-to-school season!

Tanger San Marcos is proud to host a Stuff the Bus donation drive in partnership with United Way of Hays & Caldwell County. Together, we’re collecting new school supplies and everyday essentials to support students from Pre-K through college as they head into a new school year.

 Campaign Dates:
July 19 through August 9

 Location:
Tanger Outlets San Marcos

 Bus Donation Hours:
Donations can be dropped off at the bus Friday through Sunday from 11 AM to 3 PM.

Unable to stop by during those times? Donations may also be dropped off at designated collection locations throughout the center:

• Next to the Security Office by Toys“R”Us
• Guest Lounge, Suite 319 near Brico’s Pizza
• Outside of the Management Office, Suite 850 near Wayfair

Guests are invited to bring new donations during their shopping trip and help us fill the bus with items that set students up for success.

 Most Needed Items:

School Supplies
• Backpacks
• Notebooks, folders and binders
• Pens, pencils, crayons and markers

• Headphones
• Lunch boxes
• Reusable water bottles

Everyday Essentials
• New socks and undergarments in youth and teen sizes
• Feminine hygiene products
• Deodorant

These everyday essentials help families stretch their budgets while giving students the confidence to show up ready to learn.

 Special Highlight: August 1
Make a day of it! Join us on Saturday, August 1 for even more back-to-school fun during our Back-to-School Pep Rally Bash happening later that day.

 Easy Way to Give Back:
Pick up a few extra items while you shop and drop them off before you leave. Every donation, big or small, helps make a difference.

Let’s show what our San Marcos community can do when we come together.
