SHIFT Work + Play

We’re proud to support Stuff the Bus with United Way of Frederick County, Maryland!

Through August 3, we’re collecting new, unused school supplies to help local students start the school year prepared and ready to learn.

Members can help by donating items like backpacks, notebooks, pencils, crayons, folders, and other classroom essentials. The big yellow bin is back in its usual spot by the front door!

Not a member? No problem! Shoot us a message to schedule a drop off, or book that tour you've been meaning to schedule and bring your donation along!

Together, we can help students throughout Frederick County head back to school with confidence.
