The 1st annual United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley Stuff the Bus Project was a great success!!
Over 180 book bags filled with school supplies were distributed to children in need in the Mahoning Valley.  

 
Special thanks to V&M Star for their donation of $2,500 to the project.  Through this generous donation, funds were given to Youngstown, Struthers, and Campbell schools to purchase school supplies for their students.  These three schools were chosen because they have the highest poverty rate in the Mahoning Valley.

Thank you also to the following who made the Stuff the Bus project possible: AFL-CIO Community Service Committee, American Red Cross, AT&T Boardman Call Center, Austintown Infocision, Christopher & Banks, C.J. Banks, Huntington Bank, Jewish Community Center, Knoll Run Golf Course, UPS, USPS, V&M Star, YMCA...and all of the generous people in our community who made donations to the project at the collection sites.  THANK YOU! You have helped bring smiles to students in the Mahoning Valley!

 

Nearly 400 employees from 46 local businesses completed tasks, odd jobs, and organizing activities for 34 local non-profit organizations.  Projects consisted of painting, construction, landscaping, cleaning, home repairs, serving meals, and field trips.
