Hard to believe, but it’s nearly time for kids throughout Your Region 8 to head back to school. It’s also time to help Stuff the Bus.Once again, KAIT will be partnering with the Jonesboro Radio Group, Crowley’s Ridge Development Council and the United Way to collect school supplies for kids in need.
The event began in 2005 with just two schools participating. This year’s event will benefit 24 area schools in 8 counties. You can drop off your school supply or monetary donations at the following Walmart stores listed below.
Corning
Jonesboro—Highland Drive
Jonesboro—Parker Road
Newport
Paragould
Pocahontas
Trumann
Walnut Ridge
Wynne
All donations will help school children in your area. If you are unable to make it Saturday, you can drop off school supply donations at United Way of Northeast Arkansas, 407 Union in Jonesboro, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday until August 10.
For more information, contact Megan Scribner at (870) 935-3658 or visit www.uwnea.org.
