United Way is working with local organizations to distribute supplies to local students in Cheatham, Davidson, Hickman, Robertson and Williamson counties.   “Children in our community need the tools and support to learn, now more than ever,” said Brian Hassett, president and CEO of United Way of Greater Nashville. “Stuff the Bus is so much more than just pencils and notebooks. It’s giving kids the resources they need to solve math problems and understand science experiments. To foster their creativity and to focus less on what they need and more on what they can be. We’re so grateful to each of you for stepping up and helping to get school supplies in the hands of kids who need it most.”  To learn more about Stuff the Bus, visit unitedwaygreaternashville.org/stuffthebus.
