Yes, That Was Trey the Choklit Jok on Your TV This Morning

If you had Channel 10 on this morning and thought you heard a familiar voice, you were right!

Our very own Trey the Choklit Jok spoke with KWTX-TV reporter Rosemond Crown about our 8th Annual Stuff the Bus campaign, which is all about gathering donations of school supplies to benefit kids right here in Central Texas.

Trey's usually behind the mic, but he's not shy about getting in front of a camera, especially when it's for a great cause. (Of course, we had to film him too in case anyone in the B106 family missed the broadcast.)

There are so many kids in Killeen, Belton, and Temple who could use some help preparing for the next school year. It'll bring plenty of challenges, but one challenge no child in our area should have to struggle with is having the basic supplies they'll need to be successful in the classroom.

Aside from families who are on a tight budget due to the mess the COVID-19 pandemic made of the economy and jobs, there are children from crisis situations who may be between homes or staying in shelters right now. They have so much going on in their lives without having to worry about showing up to school without the necessities, but you and I can help ensure that doesn't happen.

Below you'll find a list of school supply donation drop-off locations across Killeen, Belton, and Temple. You'll also find the school supply lists for each district so you'll have an idea of what local kids will need when they enter the classroom this fall.

Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who's donated so far, and to everyone who'll grab a few extra supplies while they're out shopping and visit one of these drop-off locations. We cannot' thank you enough!

Here's How You Can Help Us Stuff the Bus for Central Texas Kids

The new school year is just around the corner, and Central Texas students will face unique challenges as we put the pandemic behind us and look to the future.

One challenge no child should face is being without the essential school supplies they'll need to live up to their potential and achieve academic success.

That's where you and I come in. From July 19 to August 15, you can donate school supplies at the following locations. Donated supplies will benefit students in need in Belton ISD, Killeen ISD, and Temple ISD. (Click each district to view their 2021-2022 school supply lists.)

Top 20 Restaurants Central Texans Wish Would Come to Temple

Back on April 30, 2021, I asked the good people of Temple if they could picture a good restaurant to fill the lot on North General Bruce Drive where the soon to be torn down Long John Silver's stood.

This was before it was announced that a Dutch Bros. Coffee location would open there (which was one of the places I predicted as a contender in our article).

So now we know what will go in that spot, but the responses to my survey were interesting because they paint a picture of just how diverse Temple's population is. People recommended some familiar restaurants with locations in the surrounding area, but also a few I'd never even heard of.

Here are the top 20 results of the survey. Let's see what the good people of Temple are craving!
