JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Back to school time is ramping up and the annual Stuff the Bus program is helping kids prepare.

The Buffalo Mall’s annual Stuff the Bus program collects school supplies which are then donated to Community Action Region VI for distribution.

Mall Executive Director Bev Dawson says donations can be dropped off at their bus location in the mall or Gate City Bank.

Dawson says the program has been a big source for kids to get back to school supplies in the area.

Dawson says you can find a list of items needed at the Buffalo Mall, Gate City Bank or Community Action Region VI. She says every donation matters.

Parents and guardians are asked to call ahead to Community Action Region VI at 701-252-1821 to set an appointment for your child to receive the collected supplies they need.

The Stuff the Bus program runs through August 17th.
