About Stuff the Bus
Join us for our 21st annual Stuff the Bus event in Bloomington-Normal!
Connect Transit will park a bus at various locations throughout Bloomington-Normal and challenge the community to “stuff the bus” full of items for the Crisis Nursery. Help us make a difference in the lives of local babies and children in crisis.
