Annual Stuff the Bus Event

Before the start of every school year, Community First and First Coast News team up to collect school supplies for Northeast Florida students! As a credit union founded by educators, we are always invested in supporting our teachers and students in need.

We are not currently collecting school supplies but be sure to check this page next year for new event details!
