DART and the Food Bank of Delaware have opened the 29th Stuff the Bus Thanksgiving drive, WMDT reported. A bus is parked at grocery stores around the state through Nov. 7 so shoppers can leave nonperishable food for family meals.
The goal is 15,000 pounds. That number is the target, not a final weight. Collections are statewide even though the campaign is often associated with Dover.
For the classroom
DART, the bus system in Delaware, and the Food Bank of Delaware are running Stuff the Bus for the 29th year. A bus sits at grocery stores around the state so shoppers can drop off food that does not need a refrigerator. The goal is 15,000 pounds, enough to help build Thanksgiving meals for families. The drive goes through November 7. The 15,000 pounds is the target for this year, and the bus locations are spread statewide, not only in Dover.
