Help stock UCM’s Food Pantry for these cold winter months at the annual Stuff the Bus Food Drive hosted by Fairfax County and MTV Transportation (Fastran buses).

Purchase or bring your donation from 9:30 am - 4:30 pm at Shoppers Food at Mount Vernon Plaza.

We especially welcome healthier food items, such as whole wheat pasta; low-salt canned vegetables, soups, and other items; and low-sugar cereal.

For a list of most needed items, click here for pdf (prints 2 per page).

If you cannot make it to the store on Saturday, we invite you to participate by making an online monetary donation. Click here to donate at the UCM website, via credit card or check; in comments, designate “Food Pantry” or even “Food - Stuff the Bus.” Our deep discounts with our partner agencies mean we can stretch your donated even farther to provide nutritious, heart-healthy foods for hungry families.

Thanks for caring!
