The Stuff the Bus Program takes place on election day at polling locations in Arundel, Kennebunk, and Kennebunkport. Look for drop-off locations when you come to cast your votes.
The program is supported by community donations, either monetary or non-perishable food items. Food items are organized and sorted by volunteers and then distributed to neighbors in need at the food pantry located in Kennebunk. Monetary donations of cash or check are used to purchase food and household items, often at discounted or wholesale pricing.
The program is made possible through a partnership between the town’s General Assistance offices and Community Outreach Services (COS).
