Now in their 10th year, Stuff the Bus events help collect food for local Fairfax County families in need. This past Saturday, March 19, area residents donated food items at various collection points throughout the county. In Centreville and Chantilly, the donations went to Western Fairfax Christian Ministries’ (WFCM) food pantry.
“We are thankful to our community for donating 578 pounds of food during Stuff the Bus,” said WFCM Executive Director Harmonie Taddeo. “Donations of most-needed shelf stable items like cereal, canned vegetables, vegetable oil and canned meat help keep our shelves stocked. And that allows us to focus our spending on fresh food items like milk, eggs, yogurt and butter so that families in our community have access to all the items they need.”
