Bloomington Transit Celebrates 24 Years of Stuff-A-Bus

To mark the 24th year anniversary of Stuff-A-Bus, Bloomington Transit will partner with Hoosier Country 105.1, B97, Chandler Funeral Home, American Veterans (AMVETS) Post 2000, AMVETS Sons, and AMVETS Auxiliary, with all donations going to the Monroe County Indiana Department of Child Services to help make the holidays merrier for children and families in need in our community. 

 

There will be a bin placed at the front of the door of the bus for contact free donations.  For those wanting to purchase items for the event, an Amazon registry has been created with items off the list being delivered directly to the Bloomington Transit office:  bton.in/S-a-B. The link will be maintained throughout the Stuff-A-Bus event. Persons wishing to make a donation to Stuff-A-Bus can drop off items at the bus during the days and locations listed below. If persons cannot make it to a Stuff-A-Bus location, items can be dropped off at Bloomington Transit’s main office at 130 W Grimes Lane or schedule a pick-up by calling Brenda Underwood at 812-961-0523.   

 

Bloomington Transit will unveil the festively decorated Stuff-A-Bus at the AMVETS Post 2000 last Friday Night Bingo of the month on November 24. Stuff-A-Bus will visit a number of shopping centers and retail locations throughout Bloomington on Fridays and Saturdays from December 1-16.  The goal is to literally “STUFF” the decorated Bloomington Transit bus completely full of donated unwrapped new toys, clothes, children’s coats, gloves, and mittens. 

 

Stuff-A-Bus is made possible, in part, by volunteers who staff the bus and accept donations. Without this assistance, Stuff-A-Bus would not be possible. Contact Brenda at 812-961-0523 for volunteer opportunities.
