📚✏️ Help us Stuff the Bus! 🚌

The Acadia Parish Chamber is proud to serve as a drop-off location for the annual Stuff the Bus Teacher Supply Drive!

Teachers spend so much of their own money to make sure students have what they need. Let's come together as a community and help stock our classrooms for the upcoming school year.

You can drop off school supplies at the Acadia Parish Chamber office during regular business hours. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference!

Let's support our teachers and students and help make this school year a great one! ❤️🍎
