Get on the Bus Program
“Get on the Bus” brings children and their caregivers from throughout the State of California to visit their mothers and fathers in prison.
An annual event, “Get on the Bus” offers free transportation for the children and their caregivers to the prison, provides travel bags for the children, comfort bags for the caregivers, a photo of each child with his or her parent, and meals for the day (breakfast, snacks on the bus, a special lunch at the prison with their parent and dinner on the way home), all at no cost to the children’s family. On the bus trip home, following a four hour visit, each child receives a teddy bear with a letter from their parent and post-event counseling. More information on the CDCR website.
You can help by donating items from their BOARD GAMES WISH LIST or their FOOD/DRINKS LIST for their upcoming visits to Folsom Prison and San Quentin in June.
Backpacks and school supplies are also needed.
Thank you for your support!
