Volunteers and local residents can provide support to children in need by donating school supplies, according to the Salvation Army’s Western Pennsylvania District.

The Salvation Army and Walmart have teamed up to accept donations at “Stuff the Bus” events to be held this weekend across the state. The Johnstown Corps will hold a “Stuff the Bus” event Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Walmart store at 300 Walmart Drive, Ebensburg.

Shoppers can drop off items at Salvation Army collection bins at the front of the store. The goal is to provide new school supplies to children in need of a fresh start to the school year, whether online or in the classroom, amid COVID-19.
