Stuff-A-Bus 2010 on December 10

We had another BIG day at Stuff-A-Bus, for the second week in a row! City buses were parked in Walmart parking lots at Two Notch Road and Harbison Blvd.

Totals for number of gifts, pounds of food and bicycles received will be available shortly. Until then, here are some photos of the Stuff-A-Bus event at Harbison Blvd.


Stuff-A-Bus begins at 5 AM, so we were there to watch an amazing sunrise!



This camera was positioned on the bus to document the day of stuffing!
