Happy Thursday, everyone!

First, the MHCB team wants to say a massive thank you to our incredible community for showing up for our students yesterday and making Stuff the Bus such a huge success!

Yesterday, Brooks and the surrounding area showed us EXACTLY what community looks like. The generosity, kindness, and support we saw was truly amazing.

Because of YOU, our students will head into the school year feeling more prepared, confident, and ready to learn. Every backpack, pencil, notebook, cash donation, gift card, and helping hand will make a difference in the lives of our students.

We are so incredibly grateful for everyone who donated, volunteered, or simply stopped by to support us. Another huge shout out to Brooks & Newell Safe Communities for helping us out with our event!
We couldn’t be more thankful for everyone’s support.

We’re already looking forward to making Stuff the Bus even bigger and better next year!
