Stuff-the-Bus for Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse To Be Held October 15.

The Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse (CHOW) will hold a Stuff-The-Bus Event this Thursday.

CHOW is challenging the community to fill the bus with food for their hunger outreach programs. The bus will go to all nine Livingston schools and Beth Shalom Pre-School, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

“Livingston is home to families with financial troubles,” said Sister Barbara, who manages the warehouse. “Families often come to the warehouse at St. Philomena Church on South Livingston Avenue for groceries, and help with items not covered by government assistance, including diapers and cleaning supplies.”

The non-perishable items requested for collection are: canned tuna, peanut butter, napkins, toilet tissue, paper towels, breakfast cereal, condiments, canned beans, dried beans, pasta, white or brown rice, pasta sauces, macaroni & cheese, powdered milk, canned fruit, canned vegetables, baby food and jelly & jam. Only new, unopened items will be collected. Please make sure items are not expired and healthy items are appreciated.

Volunteers are still need for to riding the bus, meeting the children at the schools and helping to load food. Volunteers don’t have to be there for all stops. Volunteers are also needed to help unload the bus at St. Philomena’s at 3:00 p.m.

To volunteer, send an email to: alan.karpas@gmail.com. All proceeds benefit Livingston C.H.O.W (Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse) an interfaith project of the Livingston Clergy Association.
