VICTORIA – Join BC Transit and its affiliated unions on Saturday, December 5 to Stuff the Bus in support of the Mustard Seed Food bank and Anawim House.
The 14th annual Stuff the Bus will be taking place at Tillicum Centre with the support of Save on Foods. Over the last 14 years, over $140,000 has been raised in support of local charities.
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 with the support of participating supermarkets and suppliers. Also, this holiday season, you can ensure that all families enjoy the Christmas spirit by donating a new, in-the-package, toy or gift for children up to 18-years-old.
Anawim House has been empowering people to embrace life since 1991. They do this by providing two core programs: drop-in and residential. The programs are done within a safe and sober home where people can find hope and get assisted with their needs. They 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.
Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Save on Foods, hot dogs and coffee will be available for donation throughout the Stuff the Bus event.
Join us and help Stuff the Bus.
When: Saturday, December 5, 2015
Time: 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
Where: Tillicum Centre (3170 Tillicum Road near Save on Foods)
