Lansing Employees ‘Bust the Bus’ for Mid-Michigan Food Bank |
Bus operators, maintenance workers, and support staff from two locals of the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) gathered April 7 at buses parked near three Kroger supermarkets in the Lansing, MI, area to collect nonperishable food items for the Mid-Michigan Food Bank. ATU Local 1039 represents the Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA) in Lansing, while Local 1761 represents Eatran in Charlotte, MI.
This year’s “Bust the Bus” food drive—which collected almost 2,900 pounds of food items and raised $1,950.20 in cash donations—was the fourth, according to Katie Kelley, treasurer of ATU Local 1039. Before the actual event, Eatran gave free rides to passengers who donated a canned good and CATA conducted a casual-Friday fundraiser.
