With the beginning of the school year just around the corner, Family Connection has planned its annual “Stuff the Bus” event to help Dawson County students prepare for school. Family Connection is collecting school supplies to help stuff the bus that will be at Kroger on July 28. Last year, approximately 500 book bags filled with supplies were given to local students according to Family Connection coordinator Nancy Stites. The goal of the fundraiser is to fill the bus with as many school supplies as possible.
