MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Durham School Services donated a newly wrapped school bus to a charity foundation here on Tuesday.

The bus donation will support Boll Weevil Charity Foundation (BWCF) in fulfilling its mission of providing assistance to the mid-south community by means of financial support, goods and services, and spiritual upliftment.

“We’re very appreciative of Durham for providing us with a new bus,” said Todd Brown, president of BWCF. “This bus will assist us in our efforts to reach those who do not have the means to be mobile and to further our mission of sharing a moment of cheer, hope, and encouragement with those in need.”

“As one of our core values, it is important for us to give back to the communities where we live and work,” said Greg Newman, regional manager for Durham. “We’re proud to support the Boll Weevil Charity Foundation in their caring efforts that align with our values.”

BWCF is the nonprofit arm of the Secret Order of Boll Weevils. The Boll Weevils visit retirement homes, hospitals, the less fortunate, and people with disabilities.
