Help Stuff the Bus and support local students!
The 2026 Stuff the Bus Food and Funds Drive is taking place September 14–27 in support of the Helping Hands Food Bank CHOW (Cutting Hunger on Weekends) Program.
CHOW provides nutritious weekend meals to local students who may not otherwise have reliable access to food when school is not in session.
Community members can help by donating food, making a monetary contribution or spreading the word.
Most-needed food donations include cereal, granola bars, pop-top soups, chili and stew, canned pasta, canned chicken or tuna, fruit cups, peanut butter, canned applesauce and boxed juice.
Food donations may be dropped off at Farmstrong Brewery and Skagit Speedway. To arrange a donation drop-off in Anacortes, email tjhavard@marathonpetroleum.com.
Monetary donations may also be mailed to:
Helping Hands Food Bank
P.O. Box 632
Sedro-Woolley, WA 98284
Please include “Stuff the Bus 2026” in the memo line.
Every donation helps provide meals for local children through the CHOW Program.
