Greenbelt, MD - Educational Systems Federal Credit Union employees proudly supported Prince George's County Public Schools' annual "Stuff-A-Bus" event by loading 2,000 backpacks into a school bus at the Credit Union's Bowie Branch. The donated backpacks will be given to middle school students during the Prince George's County Public Schools' Back-to-School Block Party on August 17 at the Prince George's Sports and Learning Center.
