Community Donations to Craven County Partners In Education

Craven County Partners In Education (PIE) received over 38,000 items worth $70,000 for Stuff the Bus to help our students who have been identified as in-need in Craven County Schools classrooms. It is through generous community partnerships that Stuff the Bus is able to help those students to have the best possible advantage as they start the new school year.
