The Boys and Girls Club of Dumplin Valley held their first annual “Stuff the Bus” campaign this week. Each day the club partnered with community sponsors and rallied together to gather necessary school supplies for club members at all three of their area locations. Following in the footsteps of other clubs around the country, Dumplin Valley wanted to have their own “Stuff the Bus” event to promote members’ educational needs.

Organizers explained that education is a primary focus within the Boys and Girls Club community. By holding an event like this they are not only getting new supplies for members, but also setting them up for success in the coming school year. Boys and Girls Club tries to work with students over the summer to help them retain skills that might otherwise be lost in the excitement of summer break. The club would like to remind the community that they are always free to drop off supplies at any time, and volunteers are always welcome. If you are interested in “Stuff the Bus” or volunteering, then contact your local Boys and Girls Club.
