WSB-TV Channel 2, The Family 2 Family Project and The Children’s Restoration Network (C.R.N) announce the return of Stuff the Bus (#StuffTheBus) on Saturday, July 26, 2025.
“When there’s a need, people in North Georgians always come together to make a difference,” said WSB-TV President Marian Pittman. “Channel 2 is proud to partner with C.R.N., Delta Community Credit Union, Wellstar, Kroger, and most importantly, the community to make sure Stuff the Bus delivers for children who don’t have essential school supplies this year.”
WSB-TV Channel 2 and C.R.N have partnered for 22-years supporting students living in foster care and group homes with new backpacks filled with age-appropriate school supplies.
2025 features 8-metro “bus stops” that will accept in person donations from the community from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is a one-day collection drive. New this year, Georgians will have the option to donate online in partnership with the United Way of Greater Atlanta.
“For more than 20-years Channel 2 viewers have rallied to make sure under resourced students return to school with new backpacks and school supplies,” said Condace Pressley, Director of Community and Public Affairs for WSB-TV Channel 2. “Stuff the Bus is as exciting for us as it is for the kids.”
