Programs

Stuff the Bus

Stuff the Bus is an annual community-driven event dedicated to equipping local students in need with essential school supplies and backpacks. In partnership with Twin Rivers Unified School District, we provide multiple drop-off locations throughout the community where individuals, businesses, and organizations can donate supplies to help “stuff the bus” with everything a student needs to start the school year strong.

This initiative ensures that every child, regardless of their circumstances, walks into the classroom feeling confident, prepared, and ready to learn. From backpacks and notebooks to pencils, calculators, and art supplies, every donation directly impacts a student’s ability to succeed. By coming together, we can remove barriers to learning and set students up for a successful and productive school year.

A Taste of Thanks

Our goal with A Taste of Thanks is to ensure that each educator feels seen, valued, and loved for the often unseen work they do. We understand that their efforts go far beyond the classroom—they shape the minds, hearts, and futures of every student they encounter. This program not only offers a nourishing meal but serves as a reminder that the impact they make is profound and life-changing.

The Giving Apple

The Giving Apple is a free “shopping” event designed to support local teachers and administrators by providing essential classroom supplies. Educators can stock up on everything they need for a successful school year, including student supplies, teaching materials, bulletin board kits, art supplies, and prizes for classroom stores and reward closets.

Teachers often spend their own money to enhance their students’ learning experiences - The Giving Apple is our way of giving back, ensuring they have the tools they need while easing their financial burden.

Royal Family Kids Camp & Mentoring Support

Royal Family Kids’ Camp is a week-long camp experience designed for children ages 6-11, with the main goal of providing the missing pieces of childhood that every child deserves. This camp focuses on creating a safe, nurturing environment where children who have experienced abuse and neglect can feel valued, supported, and empowered.

A highlight of the camp experience is “Everybody’s Birthday,” where every child’s birth is celebrated. The Propel Project is excited to partner with Royal Family Kids by providing birthday gifts and party supplies, ensuring that each child experiences a special celebration and feels valued.

Jingle & Joy
Community Market

The Jingle & Joy Community Market is a heartwarming event designed to bring our community together and ensure that everyone, especially under-served families, experiences the joy of Christmas. Local businesses, churches, and community organizations contribute by providing items for local under-served students to shop for gifts for their families, at little to no cost.
