VALLEYWIDE, TX – Help the Food Bank RGV, H-E-B and CBS 4 collect schools for struggling families, August 10, 2017! Fill the Bus is a single-day school supply drive located at the H-E-B stores at Paredes Line Road, Brownsville; Shary Road, Mission and the CBS 4 Studios in Harlingen, Texas. Local businesses are needed to sponsor Fill the Bus, from 9 am to 6 pm, August 10, 2017.

Every year, 60% of families that use the Food Bank RGV have to decide between paying for quality food or medicine and medical bills. The burden gets heavier when August comes around and children need new clothing and school supplies for a new school year. With the Food Bank RGV’s School Tools program, we help over 50 elementary school campuses direct new school supplies to the children that need it the most. But now we need your help.
