Dear Neighbor,
For nine years, our community has participated in the Stuff the Bus food drive to help fill the shelves of local nonprofits’ food pantries. This year, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for food has surged in Fairfax County.
Donations were collected this past Saturday and buses will be parked at 21 locations throughout the County again tomorrow,
Tuesday, May 19, from
10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., to collect food donations. More information, including drop-off locations and nonprofits' most requested food items, is included below.
In years past, the buses have been parked in grocery store parking lots throughout the County. This year however, buses will be parked in less-frequented lots, including all Board of Supervisors’ offices and the Fairfax County Government Center, to allow donors to comply with social distancing recommendations.
Thank you to those who participated this past Saturday. If you are able, I encourage you to drop off food at one of the locations or visit Volunteer Fairfax’s
Donation Page to connect with and donate to nonprofits serving our community.
Please share this email with your friends and neighbors and do not hesitate to contact my office if we can be of assistance; email
Dranesville@fairfaxcounty.gov or call 703-356-0551.
Sincerely,
John
