Third annual Fill-The-Bus for House of Lazarus set for next Friday

The third annual Fill-The-Bus for the House of Lazarus is coming to Kemptville next Friday, August 25th.

The event will run from 10:00am to 2:00pm at both Jonsson’s Independent Grocer and Kemptville Walmart. Buses will be parked at both locations accepting food donations to help support the food bank at the House of Lazarus.

Manager of Client Services Kim Merkley says they’re hoping to fill every seat of both buses this year. The food bank supports between 100 and 110 local families in the area. It also supports nearly 1,200 families and individuals each year through outreach programs.

Merkley says that during the summer they can run low on a lot of items.

Last year, the event brought in nearly 800 kilograms of food and about $1,000 cash.
