BCPS Pack The Bus

Pack the Bus - School Supply Drive with BCPS, Department of Social Services, and Bedford Walmart

Bedford County Public Schools, in collaboration with Bedford County Department of Social Services and Bedford Walmart are gathering school supplies for students in need for the upcoming school year. We need help to "Pack the Bus" on Friday, August 1, 2025 at Bedford Walmart from 12:00PM-5:00PM.

We would like to invite community members and partners to participate in collecting school supply donations as well. Students being prepared for the start of a school year enhances the school experience, which is a primary focus of BCPS. Without our community and partners, this would not be possible.
