| STUFF
THE BUS
Many
children and youth in our community are in need of school supplies
throughout the entire school year. During our annual Stuff the Bus,
school supplies are gathered and delivered to many area schools
including Scottsbluff, Gering, Mitchell, Morrill, Minatare, Bridgeport,
Harrisburg, Hemingford and Alliance. Area educators tell us that
the need for supplies year round is great. It’s amazing how
a new backpack or school supplies can improve the self esteem of
a school-age child. Please consider helping us help them!

with this issue.
