BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority (BJCTA) will host a “Stuff the Bus day in support of The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program. A MAX bus will be parked outside the Lakeshore Walmart on Friday, December 12, 10a.m.-8p.m.
Shoppers are encouraged to purchase a toy or coat and drop the unwrapped gifts by the MAX bus parked outside the Walmart store, which will be marked with “Stuff the Bus” signage. The toys and coats collected will be shared with children in need who would otherwise be left out on Christmas. “We are excited to participate with The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program and in giving back to the children and families in our community during the holiday season,” said Ann August, BJCTA Executive Director.
Since 1979, The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program has provided gifts for thousands of children to open Christmas morning. The popularity of this program grows each year, and so does the need. “We are grateful that MAX Transit is hosting this event to help us fill the need for children in the Birmingham area,” said Major Parker, Area Commander for The Salvation Army of Greater Birmingham.
