Community asked to help refill critical supplies at “Stuff A Bus for L.I.F.E.” drive

BEDFORD — The shelves at L.I.F.E. Food Pantry are thinning heading into the holiday season, and local organizers say the community’s help is urgently needed. On Saturday, Nov. 22, WQRK Classic Hits 105.5, WBIW 1340 AM and LiteFM 102.5 will host their annual “Stuff A Bus for L.I.F.E.” food drive to help restock the items families rely on most.

This year, the pantry reports especially high demand for canned meats, flour and sugar, macaroni n’ cheese, coffee, tea, canned fruit, small dish detergent, toilet paper and basic household staples. Residents are asked to bring items from home — with a reminder to check expiration dates before donating — or to make a cash contribution if they cannot shop. Pantry volunteers say these specific items go out the door almost as quickly as they come in.
