Transit Services is once again partnering with Santas Anonymous, a student-led initiative at Father Mercredi, to collect donations and help families and children celebrate the holiday season.
Stuff-A-Bus toy drive is back!
The Stuff-A-Bus toy drive is back to help Santa deliver toys and holiday joy to children around the community.
A partnership between RMWB Transit, Santas Anonymous and Play103.7 and 100.5 Cruz FM, Stuff-A-Bus is an annual campaign that encourages residents to donate the following for families in need:
- new unwrapped toy donations
- gift cards for local businesses
- monetary donations
Last year, 30 local businesses signed up to support this great cause and filled two transit buses full of donations for local families!
Sign your business up to collect donations
What better way to get into the holiday spirit than getting involved in this great cause. Local businesses, schools, community organizations and industry are encouraged to register for the ninth annual toy drive to collect donations for Santas Anonymous.
What do you need to get started?
1) Register by contacting RMWB Transit Customer Service at transit@rmwb.ca or 780-743-7931 by Dec. 11.
2) Once registered, participants can set up a donation bin with a Santas Anonymous Stuff-A-Bus poster and collect gifts for families in need.
3) Your donations will be collected on stuffing day, Dec. 13.
