Avon Credit Union Collecting School Supplies

AVON, CT — As the summer of 2022 enters its final month, the American Eagle Financial Credit Union is partnering with the United Way for its annual “Stuff the Bus” school supply drive.

Throughout August, all American Eagle branches will be collecting school supplies from their members, employees and the general public as they try to surpass last year’s collection of 20,000 items.

Avon's branch is located at 427 W. Avon Road.

All donated items will be used by the United Way to supply school classrooms for the 2022-23 school year.

“American Eagle is a strong advocate for our local schools and communities, and we’re excited to partner with the United Way to ensure students and educators have what they need for a successful and fun school year,” said Howard Brady, president and chief executive officer of American Eagle.

Donation boxes marked with the “Stuff the Bus” logo will be available in all American Eagle branches until the end of August.

Suggested donation items include crayons, erasers, glue sticks, highlighters, markers, pens, No. 2 pencils, pocket folders, sketchbooks and spiral notebooks.
