OSWEGO, NY (August 19, 2025) – Compass Federal Credit Union once again partnered with the United Way of Oswego County to raise $2,000 for the organization’s annual Stuff-A-Bus program.

Stuff-A-Bus is an annual countywide school supply drive organized by United Way of Oswego County that mobilizes the community to support marginalized children across all nine school districts in Oswego County.  Celebrating their 22nd year in 2024, Stuff-A-Bus collected 52,093 school items that were distributed to 1,743 students.

This year Compass Federal Credit Union raised more than $1,200 by selling paper school buses, with proceeds going towards buying costly items not typically donated, such as backpacks and binders.  Compass then donated more than $750 to help ensure as many children as possible start the upcoming school year with the necessary tools to learn and succeed in the classroom.

“Each year we look forward to partnering with the United Way of Oswego County to help give back to this amazing cause,” said Compass Federal Credit Union Chief Operations Officer, Eric Morris.  “Helping to develop youth opportunities in our community has always been a huge motivator for Compass Federal Credit Union and we are eager to continue this partnership in the future to help ensure that every child in our county is able to begin school with the necessary tools to succeed.”
