Victoria – Join BC Transit on Saturday, December 10 to Stuff the Bus in support of the Mustard Seed Food Bank and Anawim House.
The 15th annual Stuff the Bus will be taking place at Tillicum Centre with the support of Save on Foods. All donations all welcomed – from food, to clothing, to cash. Our goal is to have an entire bus full of donations that can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who most need a helping hand.
Over the last 15 years, BC Transit is proud to have already helped raise over $140,000 in support of local charities.
BC Transit thanks all individuals who come together to build a more giving and charitable community – we hope to see you on December 10.
The Mustard Seed – The Mustard Seed is looking for non-perishable food donations to feed 5,000 people a month – 1,600 of them children.
Cash donations are greatly appreciated as they give The Mustard Seed the ability to purchase what is most needed at a lower cost, thanks to the support of participating suppliers.
For ideas on great donations for the event, The Mustard Seed has also provided a wish list: mustardseed.ca/get-involved/donations/
Anawim House – Anawim House has been empowering people to embrace life since 1991, mainly through the provision of two core programs: drop-in and residential. Both are conducted within a safe and sober home where people can find hope and get assisted with their needs.
The programs offer various self-enriching programs pertaining to employment, life skills, art expression, life mapping, housing assistance and peer support. As well, they provide basic referrals and necessities such as meals, showers, laundry facilities and free clothing.
