NOVA Annandale Faculty, Rotary Club Members Stuff the Bus

Annandale Campus Faculty Members Abe Eftekhari and Deanna DeGidio, and Annandale Provost Pam Hilbert are members of the Rotary Club of Annandale. Last Saturday, Sept. 26, they helped “Stuff the Bus” for local food banks.

For the past nine years, Stuff the Bus has held food drives twice a year during times when donations often drop off–after the winter holidays and during the summer. Hosting drives during these critical times ensures that area nonprofits are able to meet the needs of hungry people in Fairfax County.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for food in our area, so Stuff the Bus is working to respond to the demand.

In May, food drives were held on two days at 21 locations throughout Fairfax County. The response was immense, with 33.6 tons of food collected for area nonprofits.
