Help Calgarians facing food insecurity

Stuff a bus to feed YYC

In light of the new provincial restrictions announced on November 12 and out of an abundance of caution, we have come to the difficult decision to revise the Stuff A Bus event for Saturday, November 14.

We won’t be live on location with Calgary Transit at Calgary Co-op locations across the city, but you can still support the event and help feed YYC. If you are already shopping at a Co-op store, please consider making a contribution through the till or donating non-perishable food items in the front of store bins. If you are not shopping this weekend, you can make a donation online.

We are incredibly grateful for the support of our partners, Calgary Transit, Calgary Co-op, XL 103 and AMP Radio. This was a difficult decision to make but the safety of the community is paramount, and we want to ensure that everyone stays safe and healthy in these uncertain times.

Even though our 2020 event was cancelled the community came out to support their fellow Calgarians and $225, 641 in food and funds was raised to help feed YYC. Thank you!

“Every November for the past 27 years we’ve provided buses and volunteers for this special event. Dozens of Calgary Transit employees volunteer their time to support the Calgary Food Bank and give back to our community. It’s impressive to see how this event has grown from raising $3,000 to $10,000 worth of food and cash donations in the early years to raising over $302,000 in 2019. Stuff A Bus has become one of the largest single-day food drives for the Calgary Food Bank, and we are extremely proud to be part of this.”
