HAMLET — Richmond County Schools is partnering with United Way of Richmond County and Walmart of Rockingham to hold the 12th annual “Stuff the Bus” school supplies drive, which will take place on Tuesday, Aug. 4, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Walmart parking lot.
A school bus will be on site, ready to be filled with donated school supplies that will be distributed to students throughout the district. Last year the drive netted 32,500 supplies such as writing utensils and notebooks.
