Metro Bus Launches Holiday Food Drive

During the holiday season, various community initiatives are underway to spread cheer and support those in need. Local 10 News' Big Bus Toy Express is collecting new toys for the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program, having gathered around 153,000 toys since its inception. Meanwhile, East Midlands Railway is assembling hampers for families in Derby struggling due to the cost-of-living crisis, providing essential goods and festive treats through its partnership with Reach Community Grocers. In Tinley Park, the Jolly Trolley is hosting festive events at local bars and restaurants, offering holiday-themed food and drinks. Similarly, Metro Bus's Jolly Trolley in St. Cloud is collecting non-perishable food items and cash donations to support local food shelves. These initiatives highlight the spirit of giving and community support during the holiday season.
