The 2018 Stuff the Bus collection in Adams County was able to give backpacks filled with school supplies to 321 local students, thanks to the generosity of the entire community! The Stuff the Bus Committee would like to thank all the local businesses and organizations who held school supply drives, the volunteers who helped with the collection and distribution events, everyone who donated school supplies and/or cash, and Kobussen Buses, Ltd. for donating the bus to pick up supplies.
Students can still receive school supplies by checking with their school guidance counselors, or by contacting the Adams County Community Services Program at 608-339-4544. The need exists every day due to children moving to the area during the school year, children running out of supplies mid-year, or if a family disaster should occur (like a house fire). The program is for any child who lives in Adams County, and whose family needs financial assistance.
