HART and Rumba 106.5 Team Up to "Stuff-a-Bus"

Help us Stuff-a-Bus December 11-15!

HART and local radio station Rumba 106.5 are partnering to Stuff-a-Bus for families that have relocated to Hillsborough County from Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria.

A holiday-themed In-Towner will be staged for donations at the iHeart Media radio station next week (December 11-15).

Donations will be collected Monday - Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.; Friday from 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. We are looking for new, unwrapped, clothing, non-perishable foods, small household items, and toys.

This year, we hope to “Stuff” several buses with items that will benefit the people of Puerto Rico, who have been displaced by Hurricane Maria and have resettled in the Tampa Bay area. We are working with the Missions of Miracles Foundation, an organization "dedicated to assisting families and their pets when tragedy, emergency, or natural disaster occur." Missions of Miracles will help distribute the collected donations throughout the county.

There will be a live broadcast from the donation site with Rumba on-air personality Angel Johnny on December 15, from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

'Tis the season! Stop by iHeart Media (4002 W. Gandy Blvd. Tampa, FL, 33611) next week to help us Stuff-a-Bus for new members of our community!
