The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo is encouraging local businesses, schools and community organizations to help spread holiday cheer through its annual Stuff-A-Bus Christmas campaign.
RMWB Transit is once again teaming up with Santas Anonymous, a student-led initiative at Father Mercredi High School, to collect toys, gift cards and monetary donations for children and families in Fort McMurray.
Now in its 12th year, the campaign brings together residents, businesses, students and community groups to gather gifts that will be distributed to local families during the holiday season.
This year’s drive is seeking toys for children up to 12 years old, with a particular focus on infants under one year, toddlers between the ages of one and four, and school-aged children up to Grade 6.
Residents can support the campaign by donating new, unwrapped toys, gift cards from local businesses, or money at participating collection locations throughout the community.
Businesses and organizations interested in taking part have until Wednesday, Dec. 9, to register. To sign up, contact RMWB Transit Customer Service at transit@rmwb.ca or 780-743-7931.
On Friday, Dec. 11, an RMWB Transit bus will visit participating locations to pick up donations before delivering them to Santas Anonymous.
