In Floyd County, 143 backpacks were distributed. In Radford City, 207 backpacks were distributed. In Montgomery County, 233 backpacks were distributed. Local businesses collected donations and served as convenient drop-off locations across the New River Valley, while residents donated supplies and helped stuff buses during the Stuff the Bus event at the United Way of the New River Valley office.
