Cobb Christmas, Inc. and CobbLinc have teamed up again this year to create the county’s most unique and memorable holiday program, Stuff-a-Bus. Think of Stuff-a-Bus as the opposite of Santa’s sleigh—Santa uses his sleigh to deliver gifts and Cobb Christmas makes a CobbLinc bus our sleigh for collecting gifts.
During this event, a specially-wrapped CobbLinc bus travels to designated host sites to collect donations of new unwrapped toys for Cobb Christmas’ annual distribution. These donations go directly to help Cobb families in need. This year, we are hitting the road Wednesday-Thursday, Dec. 9-10. Please donate new unwrapped toys at any of the Stuff-a-Bus host sites listed on cobbcounty.org.
Toys needed for ages 2-13 (the biggest need is ages 9-13) include:
- Educational toys
- Legos
- Ethnic baby/Barbie dolls
- Sports equipment
- Play kitchens
- Kid puzzle
- Remote control toys
The full pickup schedule can be found here, with both East Cobb stops taking place on Thursday, Dec. 10:
- 8-8:30 a.m.: Wellstar East Cobb Health Park (3747 Roswell Road)
- 12:30-1:30 p.m.: Three13 Salon Spa & Boutique (2663 Canton Road)
Donations of new unwrapped toys also can be dropped off at the Cobb Christmas distribution site (IAM Lodge 709, 1032 South Marietta Parkway) on December 8-10 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Cobb Christmas Inc. is a non-profit, non-denominational all-volunteer organization that assists low-income and working-poor families during the holidays.
