Help Stuff the Bus to fill Topeka food pantries

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) – You can help people in need by stuffing a bus with food donations.

The annual partnership between Topeka Metro and Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1360 to support Project Topeka takes place Saturday, April 4.

Local 1360 member Jeremy Holloway and Topeka Metro’s Keri Renner visited Eye on NE Kansas to share the details.

Stuff the Bus started in 1986 – the same year that Project Topeka began. People are invited to bring donations of canned good and other non-perishable food or money. It will be used to stock the shelves of seven area food pantries.

Topeka Metro will park its bus from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 4 outside the Dillons at Fairlawn Plaza, SW 21st and Fairlawn Rd. They hope to beat their record of 2,5000 pounds in food donations.
