BOARDMAN, Ohio - Huntington Bank and the United Way are teaming up again to bring school supplies to students in need.

The Stuff the Bus campaign is back for its 14th year, helping kids around the Valley prepare for the new school year.

Volunteers filled 1,000 backpacks with school supplies from pens and colored pencils to glue sticks and lunchboxes.

The school supplies are then distributed to local school districts.

"To have a collaboration like this, that's so successful and makes a real difference, I think its a tribute, a testament to the community stepping up to help the United Way," Bob Hannon, United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley, said.

Great Clips, Cocca's Pizza, and 21 WFMJ are proud partners of the Stuff the Bus partnership.
