During the months of July and August, members of the MAU Family partnered with their local United Way to help make sure students in their communities were prepared to go back to school!


United Way

MAU Augusta

On Friday, July 27, MAU Augusta branch partnered with the United Way of the CSRA for its annual Stuff the Bus event. 
 
Stuff the Bus is a back-to-school donation drive where businesses, organizations and individuals come together with United Way of the CSRA to fill a school bus full of school supplies for deserving children within the community.
