“Stuff the Bus” Run Saturday

Two local organizations are teaming up for a run and food drive to help those in need locally.

The Toccoa Rotary Club and Campfire Georgia are partnering to host the 4th annual Stuff the Bus 5k and 10k run/walk this Saturday.

Toccoa Rotary Club President Tammy Riddle said the goal of “Stuff the Bus” is to collect food to distribute to local residents.

“We collect canned food and we ask for the canned food to be dropped off at participating locations, South State Bank, WNEG Radio, Campfire, TruVista, or McClure, Ramsey, Dickerson, and Escoe,” said Riddle. “The food that we collect will be distributed at Neighbors 4 Neighbors food pantry and the Stephens County Food Bank.”

Meanwhile, the “Stuff the Bus” run is set for this Saturday.

It starts at the Toccoa Rotary Park, with the 5k starting at 8 a.m. and the 10k starting at 9 a.m.

Riddle said all runners and walkers are welcome.
