Donations to Wheels “Stuff-A-Bus Bingo” Food Drive Top 2,400 Pounds

The Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority hosted another “Stuff-A-Bus” holiday food drive on Saturday November 18. The event took place at the Lucky Supermarket in Pleasanton.

Several hundred Tri-Valley residents stopped by to help the Open Heart Kitchen and Tri-Valley Haven stock their food pantries for the holiday season. Individual donations ranged from a single can to hundreds of pounds. The total weight of donated items exceeded 2,400 pounds. In addition, cash and gift card donations totaled over $450.

LAVTA developed a “Stuff-a-Bus Bingo” theme for this year’s food drive. Game cards listed the items most in need by the two food banks receiving the donations. Prizes ranged from small promotional items to four pairs of San Jose Sharks tickets, donated by radio station 101.7 KKIQ, which broadcast live from the event.
