LUDLOW, Vt. — The holiday season is starting and Black River Good Neighbor Services has announced that it will hold its annual “Stuff-A-Bus” food drive on Saturday, Dec. 1 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Shaw’s Market parking lot in Ludlow. This is BRGNS’ most important food drive of the year.
While there is abundant joy to be found at this time of year, it is also a time that marks significant need in our communities. BRGNS employees and volunteers are very busy now as they prepare to deliver gifts and a full holiday dinner to those in need. Over one hundred families from the immediate and surrounding towns will be helped this holiday season.
At the Stuff-a-Bus, food shelf volunteers will hand out holiday dinner menus and will ask shoppers to help with the foods most needed: canned fruit, cranberry sauce, pickles, olives, mac & cheese, hot chocolate, cookies, cereal, candy, canned carrots, peas, green beans and corn, gravy, stuffing, soup and coffee.
Donations of money are always welcome and greatly appreciated since much food will still need to be purchased.
Volunteers are needed to sort the food as it comes in, and countless other tasks are required to make sure that the Holiday boxes find their way to everyone who needs help. Please call Krey or Audrey at BRGNS’ Food Shelf, 228-3663 or visit 37B Main Street to ask how you can get involved.
