State Representative Eric Bell (D-Jonesboro) will collaborate with the Elevate ATL South Metro Leadership Academy and the ATL Airport Chamber to host the annual Stuff the Plane: School Supply Drive and Distribution event. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, August 7, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Delta Flight Museum in Atlanta. This community initiative, supported by Delta Air Lines, aims to equip youth in Metro-Atlanta with essential academic tools.
“Thank you for considering this opportunity to invest in our community’s future leaders,” said Rep. Bell. “Together, we can create a lasting impact on students’ academic success and overall well-being.”
The mission of the event is to ensure that every child starts the academic year equipped with necessary school supplies. The organizers aim to distribute 10,000 backpacks filled with school supplies to children in the community for the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, 250 students—75 from each district—along with their chaperones will receive backpacks and enjoy an exclusive tour of the Delta Flight Museum.
Community members can contribute in three ways: through donations that help purchase school supplies; volunteering to assemble and distribute backpacks; or through media promotions including news stories, social ads, and radio stories to raise awareness about the event.
The hosts also invite individuals to personally donate a backpack and school supplies for a student.
