The SunLine Transit Agency in Thousand Palms, CA, collected almost eight tons of food for Martha’s Village and Kitchen, a nonprofit organization providing human and social services to persons in need, during its annual “Fill the Bus” drive on Nov. 19.

During that one day, SunLine parked a bus outside four supermarkets in the Coachella Valley to accept canned goods, non-perishable food items, and toiletries. The bus delivered the donations to Martha’s Village and Kitchen the next morning.

SunLine reported that, because of the current economic situation, the facility has experienced a 45-50 percent increase in demand for its services this year.
