United Way of East Mississippi’s annual school supply and uniform drive, “Stuff the Bus”, will take place on July 19th at Los Totopos Restaurant. The drive
will be from 9:00AM to 3:00PM. Stuff the Bus provides the opportunity for citizens to assist their local public elementary schools by donating school supplies, new or gently worn uniforms, and monetary donations.
The donations received will help the children in our community return to school prepared with the supplies and uniforms they need. According to Adrian Cross, the Resource Development Coordinator for United Way of East Mississippi, “A donation of $60 will provide one child with the school supplies and uniforms needed to go back to school. Without help from the community on this important drive, many children will return to the classroom without the mandatory tools needed to succeed for the school year.” United Way of East Mississippi encourages everyone to come out and “Stuff the Bus.”
United Way of East Mississippi, serving Lauderdale, Clarke, Kemper, and Neshoba counties, supports 15 local partner agencies and 7 community impact programs. For more information on how you can LIVE UNITED, contact United Way at 601-693-2732.
