Stuff the Bus

In 2025, 36% of the Greater Washington area experienced food insecurity. On Saturday, March 14, from 10am-3pm, join Britepaths in partnership with Fairfax County for the March 2026 Stuff the Bus food drive to combat hunger in our community.

A Fastran bus will be parked at the Giant in Clifton, Va (5740 Union Mill Rd.) to collect nonperishable food items for Britepaths SNAP Gap Pantry.  Your contributions will benefit local individuals and families through Britepaths’ Food Security Program, helping to ensure Northern Virginia residents have access to the food they need.

Our most needed items include:

• Boxes of cereal (low sugar)
• Canned fruit
• Dry pasta
• Rice
• Instant Noodles
• Canned Tuna
• Canned Chicken/Protein
• Canned Soup/Pasta/Chef Boyardee
• Granola Bars
• Cooking Oil
• Salt and Pepper
• Sugar
• Flour and Cornmeal
• Baking Mixes (Pancake, Biscuit)

About Stuff the Bus: 

For nearly 15 years, Fairfax County’s Stuff the Bus program has been a critical resource for local food pantries and families struggling with food insecurity. In partnership with local grocery stores, volunteers, and community organizations, the program collects non-perishable food items and financial donations at various locations throughout the county. This collaboration helps keep the shelves of local pantries and food providers stocked throughout the year.
