Stuff the Bus 2024: Join WSB-TV as we collect school supplies tomorrow

ATLANTA — WSB-TV Channel 2, The Family 2 Family Project and The Children’s Restoration Network (CRN) announce the return of Stuff the Bus (#StuffTheBus).

WSB-TV and CRN are proud to continue a 21-year partnership dedicated to providing local students living in foster care and group homes with new backpacks filled with age-appropriate school supplies.

Stuff the Bus donations will be collected from the community 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 27 at eight metro Atlanta locations.

“No child should start the school year without the supplies they need to succeed,” said Condace Pressley, Director of Community and Public Affairs at WSB-TV Channel 2. “The first day of school is critical to a student’s success and we are grateful for every donation. Together, as community, we can make a big difference in the lives of students in North Georgia.”
