We cordially invite residents to attend the 16th Annual Stuff the Bus Food Drive on Saturday, October 29, from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the Tavares Crossroads Publix Super Market, located at 2042 State Road 19. The food donations collected will benefit The Lake Cares Food Pantry, a local non-profit organization. We ask residents to come together to provide nutrition directly to those who need assistance within Lake County.
Over the past 15 years Lake County Transit staff and volunteers have collected over 60,000 lbs. of food to feed families in the community. At the food drive, generous residents can place nonperishable food donations inside a Lake County Connection bus. It is a delightful experience for the whole family.
Nonperishable food items accepted are as follows:
- Canned meats, vegetables, fruits, stews, and chili, canned or dry soups, canned or packaged pasta.
- Peanut butter, tea bags, ground coffee, hot and cold cereals, rice, cake, pancake mixes, syrup, powdered milk, juice boxes, and granulated sugar.
- Baby food and formula, granola, and cereal bars.
- Dry or canned pet food.
