We did it! We Stuffed the Bus! August-26-2010

A very special thank you to Forsyth County residents, community organizations and local businesses who helped us "Stuff the Bus" with school supplies for children in need for the 2010-2011 school year! Because of your generousity, over 7,000 items were collected to help prepare our students for another school year.

With the downturn in the economy, it is much more difficult for families to provide their children with the most basic school supplies needed to be successful.  Your donations have enabled these children to be prepared and ready to learn this year. Approximately 700 children will benefit from these supplies through The Place of Forsyth County and the Forsyth County School System.

A BIG Thanks to the following:

Forsyth County Schools for their buses, drivers and transportation support
