Every year in December, OC Transpo and Loblaws Canada work together to hold a Fill the Bus food drive. Browns Independent Grocers on Stittsville Main Street and No Frills on Iber Road invite OC Transpo to park one of their buses in front of the stores between 9am and 5pm, while dozens of volunteers hand out information pamphlets, accept food items and cash, and sort and pack the food donations.
This has become an important means of helping the Stittsville Food Bank acquire food items for their Christmas Hamper Program and is a mandatory team event.
Players should wear their Rockets jersey and dress to be in the lobby and outside the store.
Each team is responsible for providing 5-7 volunteers for a shift during the food drive - Please contact your team's coach or manager for details.
