Cobb County announced on Friday that a public transit CobbLinc bus will travel through the county Dec. 12 through Dec. 14 to pick up toys for Stuff-A-Bus. The annual donation program collects toy donations for Cobb County families in need during the holiday season. This year, donations raised will be distributed to around 1,000 Cobb County families.
“Stuff-A-Bus is made possible by Cobb Christmas, Inc., CobbLinc, First Transit, community businesses and volunteers,” according to Cobb County’s online announcement. “To participate, bring a new, unwrapped toy to any of the Stuff-A-Bus host sites listed below before the scheduled pickup dates and times. Toys are needed for children ages 3 to 13, with the 9 to 13 age group having the greatest need.”
“This program would not be successful without the help of local businesses, schools, and other organizations that serve as host sites for Stuff-A-Bus,” Cobb Christmas, Inc. explained on its website. “Volunteers at these locations organize food and toy drives and begin promoting and collecting in November. A Cobb Christmas representative schedules a date and time for the bus to make a stop at their location to collect the items which have been donated.”
For those interested in donating, the date, time and location of unwrapped toy drop-off locations have been provided below.
