We are thrilled to announce that the “Stuff the Bus” winter clothing donation drive has been recognized as a finalist in PR Daily’s Nonprofit Communications Awards. Last year’s campaign, hosted by the EECU Community Foundation in support of Fort Worth ISD has been named a finalist in the “Community-Nonprofit Partnership” category.

Over the course of approximately five weeks in November and December of 2023, EECU Members and Staff combined to collect more than 2,000 new winter clothing items on behalf of the EECU Community Foundation. Thanks to this generosity, we “stuffed” a bus full of warm clothes, which was driven to a Forth Worth ISD campus. There, administrators and counselors distributed the items to students in need across the district, just in time for winter break.

We’re grateful to contribute to a meaningful cause in our community, and we’re looking forward to raising donations for another “Stuff the Bus” campaign soon.

PR Daily’s Nonprofit Communications Awards shine a spotlight on the meaningful work that teams are doing to advocate for, build awareness of or raise funds for important nonprofit causes, initiatives or organizations; they are a celebration of the passion that drives these organizations.

"Congratulations to EECU and the EECU Community Foundation,” said Brendan Gannon, Senior Marketing Manager for Ragan’s and PR Daily’s Awards programs. "Your recognition is a testament to the dedication and innovation that your team has poured into your work.”

Stay tuned for more information about this year’s upcoming Stuff the Bus campaign.
