So many good things… let’s Load the Bus and Fill the Need.

Today our club proudly collected 50 bags of donated food from McKay’s Market for the Bus Jam Toy and Food Drive. They were delivered directly to South Coast Food Share where they were weighed and counted in our totals for the drive which culminates December 6th at local Bi-Mart Stores and Bandon Rogue Credt Union. It all goes to support local families in need.

We are incredibly grateful to McKay’s Market and their amazing shoppers for their generosity. Every $10 donated bag makes a real difference right here on the South Coast and today’s donations will go a long way.

Help us reach our goal, it’s easy: the next time you’re at McKay’s, simply let the cashier know you’d like to purchase a $10 Bus Jam donation bag. One small act of kindness = one big impact for our community. 💛

Thank you McKays Shoppers, for continuing to show up for one another and supporting our community! With your help we will make Christmas merrier for children and families in need.
