Brr! Cold temperatures couldn’t stop Metro Bus and our partners from fulfilling our commitment to help stop food insecurity with a successful Jolly Trolley Food Drive. This year volunteers were at four locations within the Metro Bus service area from Monday, December 9 to Thursday, December 12. Over $1,800 was collected and 9,766 pounds of non-perishables for our food drive recipients.

On Friday, December 13 donations were delivered to Catholic Charities Emergency Services, Promise Neighborhood of Central MN and St. Cloud Area Salvation Army.

Over the last 14 years, the Jolly Trolley Food Drive has distributed almost 39 tons of non-perishables and over $36,000 to our communities in need!

“As part of our mission to serve the communities we proudly belong to, the Jolly Trolley offers a meaningful way to support those in need during the holiday season. We are dedicated to helping put food on the tables of local families and bringing a little extra joy to our neighbors this time of year.”
