In August of 2008, First Capital Bank held its first annual 'Stuff the Bus' drive for school supplies.  First Capital Bank teammates, stationed in City of Richmond school buses in local retail parking lots, collected donations of new school supplies for students in need.  The 2008 supplies were donated to the YMCA's Bright Beginnings program, one of the many services that the YMCA provides to the Richmond Metro area.  This program helps more than 2,500 children from low-income familiesto arrive on their first day of school with a new backpack filled with school supplies, new clothes, shoes and a readiness to learn.   

The second and third annual 'Stuff the Bus' campaigns took place in August, 2009 and 2010.  Many thanks to so many in the Richmond area for generous contributions to this good cause. First Capital Bank teammates were glad to be able to make donations to several fine groups which serve the community so well. Donations were made to the William Byrd Community House, Virginia Home for Boys and Girls, Market Ashland Partnership and St. Joseph's Villa.

The fourth annual 'Stuff the Bus' campaign' will be held on August 6, 13 and 20th.  All donated school supplies will be distributed to local students through Market Ashland Partnership, Henrico Education Foundation, St. Joseph's Villa, Virginia Home for Boys & Girls and Hilliard House. Please click here for more information.
