Stuff The Bus 2024
Inflation and higher costs of living has caused food-insecurity in our community to skyrocket. The Food Bank of Manatee, a PLUS program of Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee, has been the leading, local source of nutrition in Manatee County since 1985. As the only food bank based in Manatee County, we need your help to Stuff the Bus this year! 100% of the proceeds and food collected will stay in Manatee County.
Volunteer! Volunteers are also needed for this one-day event taking place at ALL Manatee County Publix locations on Sunday, October 6th from 9am-3pm. More details on volunteering to come.
