Methodist Health System is proud to once again partner with area organizations for the annual First Alert 6 Stuff the Truck Food and Toy Drive from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 4.
This annual event aims to fight hunger in our community and ensure that all Omaha-area children have a joyful holiday season.
Volunteers will be collecting nonperishable food items, paper goods and new, unwrapped toys at Methodist Fremont Health (450 E. 23rd Street). Donating is quick, easy and contact-free. Simply pull up and pop your trunk, and our volunteers will collect your donation. There’s no need to get out of your vehicle. Cash donations will also be accepted.
All donations stay local. Methodist is partnering with Care Corps’ LifeHouse to serve our community and help those who need it most.
Special needs this season include:
- Canned beans, vegetables and fruit
- Canned soup
- Oatmeal and pancake mix
- Paper products, including paper towels, toilet paper and diapers
- Pasta and pasta sauce
- Peanut butter
- Shelf-stable snack items like applesauce, crackers or granola bars
While the items listed above are in constant demand, all nonperishable food items and paper goods will be accepted. New, unused toys for children of all ages will also be accepted. Organizers request nonviolent toys; no weapon-based toys, for example.
