Stuff a Bus 30th Anniversary Logo

Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) is celebrating the 30th annual Stuff a Bus campaign to collect non-perishable food and monetary donations for Edmonton's Food Bank in partnership with Save-On-Foods.

Since 1995, the ETS Stuff a Bus campaign has collected over 601,050 kilograms of food and $515,000 in cash donations to help feed Edmontonians in need. This campaign also supports the Strathcona Food Bank (with Strathcona County Transit) and the Parkland Food Bank in Spruce Grove.

ETS thanks its partners and the Edmonton community for their continued generosity in helping drive out hunger and ensuring greater food security for all people.

Make a Cash Donation Now

You can make a cash donation at Edmonton’s Food Bank and choose the ETS Stuff A Bus campaign to make a difference in your community today!

Every donation helps meet the unprecedented increase in those needing food security. A donation of $3.58 helps feed one person one meal. Every dollar counts.

One hundred percent of all money raised goes directly to Edmonton’s Food Bank, giving them greater purchasing power to help more people.
