When: Saturday, August 23, 2025 • 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM

Join INK! at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre Farmers Market on Saturday, August 23, 2025, from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM for our annual Stuff the Bus school supply drive, benefitting the Tools 4 Schools program.

Every notebook, pencil, and pack of markers you donate helps reduce the out-of-pocket costs for teachers and ensures students have what they need to learn and thrive.

Last school year, INK! fulfilled over 2,300 teacher supply requests valued at more than $140,000 — thanks to community support like yours.

Can’t make it on August 23? Throughout August, you can drop off donations at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre’s Tools 4 Schools bin, located outside the Box Office on concert days.

Together, we can stock every classroom in St. Johns County with the tools for success!
