Franklin County Public Schools: Fill The Bus

In a collaborative effort between Franklin County Service Unit of Salvation Army, Franklin County Public Schools, Walmart, United Way of Roanoke Valley and Healthy Franklin County, we are hosting the Fill the Bus event to help kids have the tools to succeed in the school year.

We need community support in two different ways:

The First way you can help support Fill the Bus is to be one of our amazing volunteers! As a volunteer, you can choose which of the three days (August 5th, 6th or 7th) works best and volunteer for one-hour increment, or more! We will need support in helping loading the school bus with supplies as well as organizing once supplies are on the bus.

The second way to help with Fill the Bus is to be a drop off host. Your business will be responsible for collecting items and being a drop off location for community members.  We can provide the flyer and any additional information that you may need. Once the supplies is all collected, a representative from your business will bring the donations to the Rocky Mount Walmart one of the three days of the event between 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

All donations will remain in Franklin County Schools and be distributed to all grade levels. If interested in volunteering and/or hosting a drop box, please reach out to Stephanie Hackett at The United Way of Roanoke Valley at 540-777-4215, stephanie@uwrv.org.
