Donate Food at 18th Annual STUFF A BUS

Donate food today at Wegmans during the 18th annual "Stuff A Bus" event with Mix 106.5 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

From the Hunt Valley Towne Centre:

The faces of hunger will surprise you. While the homeless continue to be the most visible, many who need food assistance now are families, the elderly, and the working poor. Low-wage jobs and increased cost of living mean that many of our neighbors must decide between feeding their families or paying rent, utility or medical bills.

Did you know:
*488,788 Marylanders are currently living at or below the federal poverty level;
*341,258 of those Marylanders live in our service area.
*Nearly 31 percent of those living in poverty are children.
*The fastest growing segment of those in need work full-time.
*53,823 seniors and 137,831 children are living below the federal poverty level in Maryland, with 104,566 children and 42,275 senior citizens in our service area.
