Third time’s the charm…
by Cheryl Hardcastle
The third annual Stuff the Bus event, a cooperative Christmas charity initiative for local organizations suporting the needy, was a resounding success this year. Organizer Julie Trepanier reports that the bus was packed with triple the amount of donations by the end of the day on December 8, 2006. There was a marked increase in toy donations and monetary donations topped $1,080.00. A huge thanks to such an awesome community from the Essex Area Food Bank, Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul, Goodfellows and Iris House. Pictured clockwise from foreground are project volunteers Jessica Hillman, Janet Taylor-Moore, Dillon Orr, Dave Schatz, Michlyn Fornier and Julie Trepanier.
