Volunteers of Lake Country's 'Fill the Bus' collection for school supplies



A total of 74 volunteers worked 173 hours on Saturday July 25th, to collect school supplies and backpacks for children in need in Waukesha County! VLC staffed the Delafield Walgreens and the Pewaukee Wal-Mart and they recruited the Arrowhead Key Club to handle the collections at the Hartland Walgreens. Two of the Klements Famous Racing Sausages along with Recycle Raccoon, joined us for a day of fun, giving high fives to children and parents alike, and smiling for 100's of photos! Over 11,000 items were collected valued at well over $5,000.00!
Colleen Martin with the Backpack Coalition said, " The enormity of the fill the bus success thanks to the efforts of VLC is overwhelming!
