On December 2nd, the good people of Port Alberni were asked to ‘stuff the bus’ with donations for the Alberni Valley Community Food Bank, and they answered the call to the tune of 1,235 pounds of food and toys!
Employees from PWTransit brought a bus to the Walmart parking lot, and members of the public were given the opportunity to fill the bus with donations. Volunteers from the AV Lions Club as well as Santa and Manny the Elf were on hand to thank everyone for their generosity.
Operations supervisor Kathy Deschamps said volunteers collected more than $1,000 in cash and gift card donations as well.
