The back packs students carry to school this week may be a little heavier than usual, and for a very good reason. Bulloch County Schools is holding its second annual “We CAN Help” food drive through Friday, and students are encouraged to bring canned food items that will be donated to the Statesboro Food Bank, Christian Social Ministries’ food bank and the Portal Food Bank.
