Stuff the Bus Project

YSU Greek System Helps Stuff the Bus for our United Way

As part of their Greek Week festivities last week in Kilcawley Center, the YSU Greek System helped the United Way "Stuff the Bus" for needy children at holiday time.

Mason Shattuck, Amanda Foster and T.J. Cotterman, Greek Campus Life co-chair and all three members of the United Way Steering Committee, coordinated the event, along with Ashley Gentile, GCL co-chair.

A total of 16 bags of toys, clothes and games were provided to the United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley for distribution as part of the University's United Way Campaign.

"Our Greek System has gone above and beyond the call of duty, once again, in gathering new toys, clothes and games for those families in need at holiday time. We really appreciate their efforts and thank them for making the United Way's Stuff the Bus such a major part of their Greek Week festivities."
