Fill The Bus

The second annual “Fill the Bus” campaign for The Food Group was another huge success, beating the results from last year when groceries were a little more affordable.  Executive Director of the Food Group, Keri McMeans said that shoppers at Albertson’s and Ridley’s donated about 3,000 pounds of food this year.  She said that included some expensive items like trail mix, beef jerky and dried fruit and nuts that are in high demand for the teen pantry’s the Food Group puts together.

Ridley’s manager Ben Goddard said it was good to be involved in the benefit again.

In addition to the record food donations, The Food Group received over $2000 in cash donations and estimates the total value of “Fill the Bus” this year to be about $7000.

Food Group Program Manager Jenny Tribley was just happy to be involved.

Sheridan Media sponsored “Fill the Bus” again this year with some help from ERA Carrol Realty, The Wyoming Corporate Office and First Federal Bank & Trust.
