STUFF THE BUS
News 13 is excited to announce our second annual Stuff the Bus school supply drive. Like last year O'Connor has kindly stepped up to sponsor this rewarding event. We are also teaming up with Ruth's Reusables, a non profit organization aimed at helping students and teachers get the supplies they need. Join us in kicking off this event on August 2nd - 13th. You can drop donations off at our studios 81 Northport Drive, Portland Maine 04103 or at Ruth's Reusables located on 39 Blueberry Road, Portland ME 04102.
If you can't make a drop off at either location you are welcome to support the cause by making a monetary donation. All checks should be made out to:
Ruth's Reusable Resources
39 Blueberry Road
Portland, ME 04102
