DART has announced their “Stuff The Bus” Food Drive in support of the Food Bank of Delaware’s COVID-19 relief efforts. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the Food Bank of Delaware has distributed nearly 5 million pounds of food to residents in need. The food drive will be collecting non-perishable donations in support of those continuing efforts during this time of increased demand. We are looking for the public’s help by stopping by one of the drop off locations with their non-perishable donation.

“Stuff The Bus” will be collecting food at five sites throughout the state. The drop off locations, collection dates and times are:

Monday, June 22: Safeway, 19283 Coastal Highway, Rehoboth, 9 AM – 4 PM

Tuesday, June 23: Safeway, 190 John Hunn Brown Rd., Dover, 9 AM – 4 PM

(Corner of S. Bay Rd. at S. Little Creek Rd.)

In support of the food drive, on Monday, June 22, The Vault 103.5/106.1 will be live from 12 PM to 2 PM at the Rehoboth Safeway.
