For nearly 15 years, Fairfax County’s Stuff the Bus program has been a critical resource for local food pantries and families struggling with food insecurity. In partnership with local grocery stores, volunteers, and community organizations, the program collects non-perishable food items and gift cards at various locations throughout the county. This collaboration helps keep the shelves of local pantries and food providers stocked throughout the year. This year's event is presented in partnership with Fairfax County Department of Transportation, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue and MV Transportation, Inc.
