Forty Volunteer for Stuff the Bus
On Monday, about 40 volunteers from Schuylkill United Way member agencies, as well as volunteers from several businesses, stuffed backpacks at the Salvation Army building, 400 Sanderson St., Pottsville.
The 1200 backpacks donated by those in the community will make the start of school for children in the county a little easier.
Michelle Halabura, director of community relations, said monetary donations from the public and from the Tamaqua and Pottsville Salvation Armies went to purchase the backpacks and the school supplies were donated from July 1 through July 31 during the 13th annual “Stuff the Bus” event held by the Schuylkill United Way.
There is still time to drop off school supplies at Wal-Mart in Saint Clair. Donations will still be accepted until mid-August, Halabura said.
