DART
today announced their 20 years of partnering with the Food Bank of Delaware for
the annual “Stuff The Bus” Thanksgiving Food Drive. In celebration of its
20th anniversary, DART’s goal is to collect 20 tons of
non-perishable food for Delawareans in need of food assistance. We need
the public’s help to achieve our goal.
The
“Stuff The Bus” food drive starts on Monday, November 6, ending on Saturday,
November 11. New this year, we’ll be at the Acme in Rehoboth on Monday,
November 6 and the Acme in Middletown on Saturday, November 11. The
public is invited to stop by the bus at any of the seven collection sites with
their nonperishable food donations to help “Stuff The Bus”.

Delaware. According to the Food Bank, annually 1 in 8 people in Delaware
rely on the Food Bank’s partners and programs for food assistance and 25% are
