What is Stuff-A-Bus?
The 36th Annual Stuff-A-Bus food drive to benefit the Peoria Friendship House of Christian Service officially wrapped up on Wednesday, November 29th, 2023. The campaign began on October 20th, 2023 and concluded with a press conference at the Peoria Friendship House of Christian Service to announce the total weight of the bus filled with the food collected during the campaign.
How Can You Help?
The Stuff-A-Bus planning committee is looking for schools, churches, organizations and businesses who would like to partner with us for the food drive.
- Peoria is experiencing a food crisis - especially the urban center. What does that mean?
- Some of the children in the Peoria Public Schools only get good nutrition during the week while at school. Many children go hungry on the weekend.
- With grocery store closures, food deserts are becoming even more prominent: A food desert is an area in which it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food.
- The majority of the people served at the Peoria Friendship House live below $13,000 per year.
