On Saturday, Jan. 30, Fairfax County's little Fastran buses, CUEs, and school buses traveled all 'round the county, to 21 locations, in a fight against hunger. For its tenth year, Stuff the Bus was at it again to meet the critical need to help restock local food pantry shelves after the holidays.
Donors can also support Stuff the Bus virtually
According to The Connection Newspapers, "The demand for food has never been greater than this year due to the economic disruption caused by the pandemic. The buses parked from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. outside county facilities, including public libraries, Board of Supervisors' offices, and the Pennino building in Fairfax to allow donors to comply with social distancing recommendations and collect non-perishable food donations outside. The buses will return for second runs on Saturday, Feb. 6."
As per The Connection Newspapers, "Cars arrived at the Dranesville District, Great Falls Library, 9830 Georgetown Pike, shortly after 10 a.m. Residents of the district had been generous with prior Stuff the Bus donations during the pandemic. Collections at this site would benefit LINK, Inc., a nonprofit that provides emergency food and financial assistance to qualified people in need."
