Premier Broadcasting – WXEF and KJ Country “Pack the Bus”
Posted on September 2, 2015
Each year Premier Broadcasting - WXEF 97.9 and KJ Country 102.3 sponsors a “Pack the Bus” Program. This year it was held on Friday, July 31 at the Effingham Wal-Mart.
The Ramblin’ Rose Bus was parked in the Effingham Wal-Mart lot for the day. Shoppers purchased book bags, notebooks, paper, folders, glue, rulers, scissors, pens, pencils, and other school supplies and brought them to the bus. Some people chose to make a monetary donation. $5,450.35 was collected to purchase additional supplies. The Catholic Charities Ramblin’ Rose Bus travels to 13 locations in the 7 counties served from the Effingham Catholic Charities Office providing students with school supplies and clothing to start the new school year. Over 1100 children were served this summer. Catholic Charities wishes to thank Premier Broadcasting, Wal-Mart and all who donated so generously to assist in enabling Catholic Charities to offer this service to the children in our communities.
