Eat This Bus

Coconut Telegraph

All Faiths Food Bank and the Venice Yacht Club Charitable Foundation recently held a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate Eat This Bus, a colorful and memorable converted school bus which will deliver snacks and meals to vulnerable children in south Sarasota and DeSoto counties.

While the school bus was donated by the Venice Yacht Club Charitable Foundation, the bright and colorful design was created by Laura Coyle, director of creative services at All Faiths Food Bank.
