The buses are fueled and ready to go as the Stuff the Bus Food Drive returns for a one-day event on Saturday, Sept. 19, 2026. The buses will be located at various Supervisor District offices countywide 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Please consider supporting local non-profit food pantries by donating non-perishable food items or gift cards.

“September is Hunger Action Month – and in Fairfax County, that means turning awareness into action. Help us make sure no neighbor goes without a meal” said Alisa Brooks, county Food Access Program Manager. “Twenty-six percent of individuals struggle with food insecurity, and more than 64,000 county children rely on free and reduced-price meals in Fairfax County Public Schools. Donating to Stuff the Bus in September will, with the help of our non-profit partners, get food to the families who need it most.”

Learn more about Stuff the Bus

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. The most recent drive, a one-day event in March 2026, collected 11,428 pounds of food and more than $1,700 in gift cards.
