RDFB Stuff-A-Bus!
The Annual Stuff-A-Bus donation drive and fundraising event returns to Parkland Mall November 20 - 22.
We will again be located inside Entrance 3 between Staples and Winners… just stroll down the hall and find us at the “intersection” of the three halls. You can’t miss us: we will have the DJ’s from New Country 95.5 and Z98.9 broadcasting throughout the day from under the canopies!
We have a copy of our Wish List here if you would like to see what food items would be most welcome as your contribution this holiday season.
We look forward to seeing you there.
