Stuff the Bus will be at Annandale Giant Feb. 1
There’s always lots of volunteers lending a hand to our
neediest residents during the holiday season, but donations to food pantries

On Saturday, Feb. 1, the bus will be at the Annandale Giant,
at 7137 Columbia Pike, 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. As you shop for groceries, pick up a
few extra items for the needed. Food donated by the public will be distributed
to local families by volunteers with Annandale Christian Community for Action.
The Stuff the Bus campaign, now in its fourth year, is a
partnership of the Fairfax County government, local grocery stores, and
nonprofits to serve the growing population of households that don’t have access
to healthy food on a regular basis.
