‘Stuffing the Bus’ in Milwaukee


Milwaukeeans turned out in droves to “Stuff the Bus!” the day before Thanksgiving. The Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) partnered with Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, a radio station, and a supermarket for the 15th annual event. Radio personalities broadcast live for 12 hours in the supermarket parking lot, encouraging the public to donate nonperishable food items, which were then packed into MCTS buses for delivery to a warehouse. To kick-start the event, the first bus arrived half full with donations from agency employees. Members of the community stuffed five full buses of food—a total of 305,276 pounds—by the end of the day. MCTS Managing Director Lloyd Grant Jr., declared the event an unqualified success: “Serving the community is at the center of our mission at MCTS. We are proud to help those in our area who are the most vulnerable, especially during the holiday season.”
