THOUSAND PALMS, Calif. (KESQ) – Many local families will have a happier holiday season this year thanks to the generosity of all those who helped Fill the Bus on Thursday.
News Channel 3 and SunLine Transit Agency teamed together to fill a SunLine Bus with donations of non-perishable food items and hygiene products that will go to local families for the holidays.
Well in the Desert and Lift to Rise are the beneficiaries of the 2025 Fill the Bus event, now in its 18th year.
More than seven tons of food and products were donated at last year’s event, and the total is expected to exceed that weight this year.
More than 460 turkeys were donated on Thursday, along with 64 hams. All monetary donations collected went to purchasing more turkeys.
Lift to Rise will be distributing their received donations on Friday, and Well in the Desert plans to distribute donations on Saturday, in addition to using some for their Thanksgiving Meal.
