Helping those most in need...

Charity Frost and James Gentry from the First Student bus company wave to passing motorists as they encourage them to stop by and drop off donations of non-perishable food during the company's Stuff the Bus food drive Saturday morning.

With buses staged at the local Albertson's and at the Grace Lutheran Food Pantry, drivers with First Student spent the day gathering cans and boxes of non-perishable items to refill the food pantry, which continues to see record numbers of families needing these emergency supplies as the county deals with unemployment figures approaching double digits.
