This event provides Jones County Students with backpacks, snacks, health information, and free health screenings.  In addition, we have invited and encouraged area businesses, churches, non-profits, and partner organizations to come participate and promote their services as well.  We are requiring all participating groups to provide $25 worth of School Supplies. Please complete the attached Reg form to attend.  

Thanks to partners like You last year, we were able to serve 205 area students.  We timed this event to come before the school year starts to ease the financial burden Students and Parents might undergo to pick up school supplies and snacks. 

Last year, The Filling Station purchased 205 backpacks, and with the help of Maysville Rotary, the Pollocksville Rotary, JC Senior Services, JC Health Department, and the Salvation Army of Jacksonville, we had enough snacks to pack all of the backpacks.  And like last year Maysville Rotary plans to provide Hot Dog Lunches for both parents and students.  We also have booked some games and bounce houses onsite at the Civic Center as well to occupy the kids.
