For the fourth year, The Bethlehem Area School District Transportation Department’s bus drivers are collecting new and unused toys for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots program and nonperishable food items and personal hygiene items for local nonprofits. Collection stations are set up at the two familiar locations, the Linden Street Bethlehem Square shopping center and Christkindlmarkt at SteelStacks.

Dates and times are: Nov. 29-30 and Dec. 1, Dec. 7-8, Dec. 14-15, Dec. 21-22, Dec. 23 (Bethlehem Square only) all from 11 a.m.-3 p.m., and Dec. 24 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (Bethlehem Square only).

Stuff the Bus coordinator Brenda Sciascia said, “With only one weekend in the books, I am once again amazed at the participation by our community and that so many people have returned year after year to support us with their generosity and kindness.”

She added, “I have also had a tremendous response from our high school students who chose our campaign to help complete their community service requirements. They have stepped up with earnest enthusiasm and commitment and have fallen in step with our seasoned team of bus drivers.”
