The 3rd Annual “Stuff the Bus” Community Event on Saturday, July 19, 2025, was a tremendous success — thanks to the incredible generosity of our community! Local churches came together to support students and teachers in the Minidoka School District by providing essential school supplies for the upcoming school year. Since many teachers often pay for supplies out of their own pockets, this event helps ease that burden. Grace Church, led by Pastors Travis and Tina Turner, hosted the event with the support of leaders and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Through the kindness of the community, nearly 100 boxes of donations were collected — enough to completely fill a full-sized bus! “We Stuffed that Bus!” A special thank you to Joe and Roxy Goodrich for packing the bus and to Steve Roberts, owner of the Snow Cone Shoppe, for treating attendees to free snow cones. This event shows the power of unity when faith communities come together to meet real needs. Grace Church and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints invite all local churches to join us in making “Stuff the Bus” 2026 an even bigger success! ❤️ Thank you to everyone who contributed — you’re making a difference for our students and teachers!
