With the new school year on the horizon, a beloved First Coast tradition is kicking off once again. The 2026 Stuff The Bus campaign has officially launched, calling on Jacksonville-area residents to donate school supplies to children in need across the region.
The annual drive, highlighted by First Coast News, gives community members a simple and meaningful way to make sure local kids head back to class fully equipped — from notebooks and pencils to backpacks and beyond. Donation opportunities are available for anyone looking to pitch in and support First Coast students before the school bells ring this fall.
It’s the kind of grassroots, neighbor-helping-neighbor effort that Jacksonville does well, and organizers are encouraging everyone to get involved while there’s still time to make a difference for the 2026 school year.
In other upbeat local news, Visual Comfort & Co. has opened a brand-new showroom in Jacksonville, Florida, adding a fresh retail destination to the city’s growing business landscape and bringing new jobs and design resources to the River City.
