United Way of Junction City-Geary County, working with local schools, is kicking off their 10th annual “Stuff the Bus” event. They are asking members of the community to donate school supplies to help children in the district whose families may struggle to provide the necessary items to start the school year. With the 2021-2022 academic year fast approaching, now is the time many families begin to buy the necessary paper, pencils, and glue for school. It is not hard for a family to spend $50.00 or more per child, and that only covers the most basic of supplies. It certainly doesn’t include clothing and shoes. So the costs add up quickly.
