Anyone who pulled
into the Kroger parking
lot this weekend saw

iar sight in Dawson
County during back-to-
school season — a big
yellow school bus sitting
out front.
Dawson County Family
Connection collected
donations for their annual
Stuff the Bus fundraising
campaign on July 20.
The 2019 campaign
was a major success.
According to Family
Connection coordinator
Nancy Stites, “over 300
bookbags” stuffed with
school supplies will be
given out at the start of
the school year.

thing they need.”
This year’s donation drive
was one of the most suc
cessful they’ve ever done.
“It’s grown,” Stites
explained. “A lot of local
churches really help out.”
While Family
Connection has done a
school supply drive for
over a decade, this is the
third year in a row that
they have held Stuff the
Bus outside of the Kroger.
Family Connection is a
statewide initiative aimed
at helping children and
families. There is a local
organization in all 159
counties in the state, mak
ing it the largest such ini
tiative in the nation.
Come for the great rate.
