WKYC And RTA Needs Your Help to "Pack The Bus" This Week

The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) and Channel 3 are teaming up to help "Pack the Bus" with several ways you can help the Harvest for Hunger campaign now through Friday, April 15th.

RTA will be collecting non-perishable food items along with cash donations for Harvest for Hunger through Thursday at Tower City. Rapid customers who pass through Tower City on their daily commute can drop of items in the morning on their way to work on all three days. RTA representatives will be on hand to collect food items and cash from 6 – 9 am. This customer drive is in addition to what RTA’s employees are already doing throughout the organization, at all garages and offices, to help those in need through the Harvest for Hunger campaign.

Organizers say the most needed food items are: peanut butter, tuna fish, canned vegetables, beef stew, canned soup and cereal.

In addition, cash goes even farther; with each dollar providing food for four nutritious meals.

On Friday, Channel 3 will host a last round push for the "PACK THE BUS" event in the WKYC parking lot at 1333 Lakeside Avenue . People are invited to come down and donate either non-perishable food items or cash donations.
