For the past 38 years, CityLink has hosted the Stuff-A-Bus food drive to help eliminate hunger in Peoria. With a long partnership with Kroger to collect enough food to stuff a CityLink bus, the donations collected during the annual food drive benefit the food pantry at the Peoria Friendship House of Christian Service. In a year, the Peoria Friendship House food pantry provides an average of 150,000 meals to those dealing with hunger in Peoria.
All Peoria Kroger stores are participating in this year’s Stuff-a-Bus campaign, which includes the stores in Peoria located at 9219 Lindbergh Dr.; and 801 W. Lake Ave. The Kroger store in East Peoria, located at 201 S. Main St. is also participating. New this year is the Kroger store in Pekin, located at 1607 Broadway St. The participating Kroger stores will have donation displays available that include non-perishable food items that are needed at the Peoria Friendship House food pantry. Shoppers can simply purchase items from the displays or purchase food off the shelves and place the donations in the bins located at the front of the stores.
This year, Stuff-A-Bus plans to collect 10 tons of food onto the re-imagined ’vintage’ CityLink bus.
