In Peoria, Gathering Tons of Food
The Greater Peoria Mass Transit District (CityLink) in Peoria, IL, collected 10,300 pounds of food in a historic GMC bus during its 23rd annual Stuff-A-Bus campaign—30 percent more than the previous year, and leaving barely enough room for the bus operator to sit. Kroger and Peoria Friendship House, which provides services to people in need and facing emergency situations, partnered with CityLink in the effort; when including additional fundraising efforts, the size of the collection rose to 14,300 pounds. Part of the effort was the creation of a structural design made completely from one ton of stacked cans of food, held together by the balancing of the cans with no tape or adhesive.
