Athens-Clarke County Transit will host its annual “Stuff-a-Bus” event December 10-14 to benefit the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia.
A decked-out-for-the-holidays bus will visit locations around Athens collecting non-perishable food items, with the goal of giving Athens families a holiday to remember.
Each visit earns a chance to win "Stuff-a-Bus" door prizes. The drawing will take place on Friday, December 14 at 5:30 p.m. at the Lexington Road Walmart Supercenter, although participants do not need to be present to win.
