Stuff the Bus to benefit Project Topeka April 19

TOPEKA, KAN (March 21, 2025) -- Topeka Metro and the Amalgamated Transit Union #1360 will hold a food drive to benefit Project Topeka on Saturday, April 19, 2025 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. "Stuff the Bus" has been a collaborative effort between Topeka Metro staff and the transit union members (bus operators) for many years.

The food drive will be at the entryways of the Dillons store in Fairlawn Plaza, located at 5311 SW 22nd Place. Donations of canned goods, non-perishables as well as monetary contributions are welcomed. One-hundred percent of all donations go to feeding the hungry in Topeka and Shawnee County. There are seven agencies that receive the donations from Project Topeka: Doorstep, Inc.; Fellowship & Faith Ministries, Inc.;  I-Care, Inc.; Let's Help; The Salvation Army; Topeka North Outreach; and the Topeka Rescue Mission.

In the past, we've had nearly 2,500 pounds of food donated, and up to $400 in cash contributions. All food and funds gathered will immediately be delivered to Project Topeka after 2 p.m. on April 19th.

We hope to see you there! Let's help feed hungry children, adults and the elderly in our own community!
