Join Fairfax County Government, MV Transportation and area grocery stores as we collect food donations to assist the most vulnerable in our community. Each week a Fastran bus will park at a different location and collect food donations to benefit nonprofit food pantries.

Food Pantries are full at holidays, with giving at its peak as people celebrate the season. However, after the New Year “giving fatigue” has set in and most pantries’ supplies run ebb.  To help, Fairfax County runs “Stuff the Bus” (STB), a food pantry giving campaign that partners with nonprofits, grocery stores and MV transportation to restock depleted shelves.

Since 2011, STB has accomplished a tremendous amount with the help of generous Fairfax County residents:

  • Collected more than 250,000 lbs of food
  • Provided 200,000 meals to those in need
  • Received nearly $54,000 in monetary contributions
  • Aided more than 32 local food pantries in their winter food collections
  • More than 5,000 community volunteers have contributed approximately 15,000 hours of service

STB runs from Martin Luther King Jr. weekend (Jan. 19) through Presidents Day (Feb. 18), 2019. In the Mount Vernon District, STB will be at the Fort Hunt Safeway and 100% of donations will go to United Community.
