Stuff the Bus keeps filling backpacks in third year
In its third year, the San Benito County United Way’s “Stuff the Bus” project collects backpacks, school supplies and donations to help low-income and homeless children around the county be prepared for school. The supplies are distributed through the San Benito County Office of Education. Last year, this event raised more than 700 backpacks filled with school supplies. This year, United Way has a goal of 1,000 filled backpacks.
‘Stuff the Bus’ drive continues through Aug. 10
While residents with school-aged children are focusing on replenishing their stock of class supplies before the fall semester begins on Aug. 19, the United Way of San Benito County has launched a drive to collect those same items for low-income families in the community.
