STUFF THE BUS

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2025

This year's annual Stuff the Bus was held on Sunday, October 5, 2025 at 19 Publix locations in Manatee County. Stuff the Bus is a community collaboration food drive with The Food Bank of Manatee County, Publix, the School District of Manatee County, United Way Suncoast, and presenting sponsor, Mosaic.

The Food Bank of Manatee County, a PLUS program of Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee, has been the leading, local source of nutrition as the only food bank based in Manatee County.

This year, 162 volunteers helped collect 69,201 pounds of food and cash equivalents. The donations collected will help provide a trusted source of nutrition for those in need. Thank you to the volunteers who helped make the 2025 event a big success!
