Stuff the Bus, a school supply drive, is locally sponsored by the Jenkins County Family Enrichment Center along with the Office of Child Support Services and Prevent Child Abuse - Bulloch County. Drop-off boxes will be placed in local businesses including Fred's, Rite-Aid, Planter's EMC, Cindy's Café on Cotton, Bi-Lo, Jenkins County Library and the Jenkins County Family Enrichment Center to receive school supplies for the month of July. All school supplies will be given to Jenkins County students.
