Balise Auto and Mykonos Restaurant Host School Supply Drive for Stuff the Bus

The United Way of Pioneer Valley received a donation boost this past July with the help of two local businesses, when Balise Auto Group teamed up with Mykonos Restaurant to host the “Pitas and Pencils” supply drive.

The event benefitted the United Way of Pioneer Valley’s Stuff the Bus program, which aims to provide every area student experiencing homelessness with a backpack filled with supplies for the upcoming school year. Stuff the Bus also collects classroom materials to ensure local teachers have the tools they need to set their students up for success.

Mykonos Restaurant hosted the event at its new location-the TD Bank Building, which also houses the United Way of Pioneer Valley. Attendees who donated school supplies enjoyed complimentary Mediterranean cuisine courtesy of event sponsor Balise Auto Group and were treated to a live appearance by local radio personality Zito of MIX 93.1 FM’s Zito in the Morning show. Balise Auto Group thanks everyone who came out to support Stuff the Bus through the Pitas and Pencils supply drive and is proud to have been a part of the United Way of Pioneer Valley’s mission to help students in need succeed.
