2021 Stuff-A-Bus

Due to COVID-19, we did a smaller-scaled event this year without a competition between schools.

Thanks to the extremely generous donations from Greece Teachers, Alumni, GASA, and other GCSD Staff, we were able to collect 1,272 lbs. of food and $4,450  in monetary donations for the Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf for the 2021 GTA Stuff-a-Bus!

This brings us over 117,000 lbs. since we started in prior to 2000. That’s the weight of about 61.5 fully-loaded 1982 Chevy Chevettes. This was a 700 lb increase compared to 2019. Also, some schools used their donations for their own in-school food shelf, so the totals were actually a little higher.

We have total numbers by school going back to 2010, Arcadia’s 2,458 was the 3rd most ever (behind ARHS 3,215 in 2010 and ARHS 2,954 in 2017).

February 2010 – A big thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s food drive.  It was by far the best we’ve ever had.  Last year we collected 9400 lbs, and this year’s drive yielded 11,209 lbs of donations.

Food Bowl trophies will be awarded to:

• Pinebrook, with 792 lbs (Longridge – you missed it by 70 lbs. Very close.)

• Athena Middle, with 865 lbs.

• Arcadia High, with 3,215 lbs. Thankfully, the kids loaded the bus. Olympia had an excellent showing with 2173 lbs, while Athena High kicked in 152 lbs.

January 2010 – This year’s drive is occurring between February 8th and 12th.  All items needed!  Our goal is to collect over 10,000 pounds of food during this year’s drive.  If you have anyone interested in helping haul food, please let Katie Park know, or contact the GTA office.

March 2009 — The 2009 food drive set a new record with 9400 pounds of food collected for the Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf.  This brings us to a four year total of over 30,000 pounds of food donated through our district to help the people of our community.  A special thanks must go to Pinebrook, who held a faculty basketball tournament to encourage donations.  Longridge was also a major donor this year, as well as Arcadia.  The generosity of our students and staff is truly amazing, and we thank you for your continued support.
