Stuff the Bus receives 20,000 school supplies for schools in Isabella County
Five elementary schools in Mount Pleasant and schools around Isabella County will be receiving much-needed school supplies after the United Way of Isabella County gathered markers, scissors and other items.
"Stuff the Bus," the annual United Way of Isabella County fundraiser, collected more than 20,000 school supplies through this year's drive. Volunteers will fill a school bus with supply utensils to provide to schools in need.
"It's our community's way of saying thank you to our teachers and helping them provide a quality education to our children," said Tom Olver, president and CEO of United Way of Isabella County.
The group will "stuff the bus" at the JC Penney plaza at 11 a.m. Wednesday and will travel around to the five elementary schools in Mount Pleasant Public School's district. Another team will be delivering goods to Beal City elementary at noon on Wednesday.
"Shepherd and Winn elementary schools as well as Sacred Heart Academy will be on Thursday," Olver said.
