All Manatee County Publix Locations

United Way Suncoast and Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee County is excited to bring you volunteer opportunities for Stuff the Bus!

Inflation and higher costs of living has caused food-insecurity in our community to skyrocket. The Food Bank of Manatee, a PLUS program of Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee, has been the leading, local source of nutrition in Manatee County since 1985. As the only food bank based in Manatee County, we need your help to Stuff the Bus this year! 100% of the food collected will support individuals and families in Manatee County.

Stuff the Bus will be held on Sunday October 1 at all Manatee County Publix locations through a partnership with Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee County, the School District of Manatee County, Publix, Mosaic and United Way Suncoast.

Volunteers during each shift will accept donations from community shoppers at Publix, organize donations by type, pack into boxes, and load onto the bus. There will be two shifts available at each location and all volunteer spots are available on a first come, first serve basis. All volunteers must register as individuals and must be registered in advance to be on-site during the event. Register here:
