Press Release -- November 27, 2012
DART 15th Annual Stuff The Bus Food Drive Nets 10.8 Tons of Food For Delawareans In Need
Wilmington --
DART First State announced today that its 15th annual Stuff The Bus Thanksgiving Food drive collected 10.8 tons (21,595 pounds) of food. The week-long DART food drive took place from November 5 to November 9 at Walmart in Milford, ACME in Dover, ACME in Fairfax Shopping Center, and Rodney Square in Wilmington. The Food Bank of Delaware will distribute the donated food through its more than 440 hunger relief partners to Delaware residents in need.
The donations of this year of non-perishable food filled two 30-foot buses. Donations were received from the general public, as well as businesses, schools, organizations, and state agencies throughout the entire State.

Again this year, DART partnered with WAFL 97.7 FM and WNCL 101.3 FM, which are part of the Delmarva Broadcasting Company. Thanks to staff and listeners of both radio stations, Stuff the Bus in Milford and Dover was a great success. Also we want to thank the WJBR 99.5 FM staff and listeners who helped to fill the bus in Rodney Square.
Even in the aftermath of Super storm Sandy, the generosity and support of the public for Stuff the Bus was overwhelming. DART is proud to provide community support to help out fellow Delawareans.
The Delaware Transit Corporation, a subsidiary of the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), operates DART First State. For information on fixed route bus services statewide, please call 1-800-652-DART or visit www.DartFirstState.com.
