Meals on Wheels Plus Announces Virtual Stuff the Bus Event

The Giving Coast

Annually in October, The Food Bank of Manatee, a PLUS program of Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee, gathers community partners in a collaborative effort to collect needed food items to feed Manatee County families through the “Stuff the Bus” event. “In 2019, our generous supporters donated over 100,000 pounds of food to be put to use in our community through the annual Stuff the Bus event,” said Maribeth Phillips, President & CEO of Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee. “This year’s virtual Stuff the Bus event will enable us to replace the food we would normally receive through this important, community-wide event,” Phillips added. The virtual collection effort will take place October 25 – 31.
