Huron Perth Catholic Schools To Stuff a Bus with Food

All the schools in the Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board are taking part in the eighth annual "Stuff That Bus" project this week.

The food drive on Wednesday will collect non-perishable items and other essentials for local chapters of the St. Vincent de Paul Society.

Four buses will travel across the two counties to collect the donations from the schools, and then make the deliveries.

Buses are donated by First Student Stratford and Goderich, Newry Coach Lines of Atwood, and Montgomery Bus Lines in Wingham.

The school board says the "Stuff That Bus" project also gives the students, staff and community members a chance to demonstrate what a caring community is.
