Moose FM’s Stuff the Bus – the final total is in!

Thank you, Yellowknife – the final figures are in and you made this year’s Stuff the Bus an incredible success.

Through your food and cash donations, we’re proud to announce that Moose FM’s annual food drive raised the equivalent of 10,000 pounds of food for the YK Food Bank this Christmas.

Hundreds of you picked up food parcels at the Yellowknife Co-op last weekend, which we loaded onto a school bus and shipped down to the YK Food Bank.

We’d like to thank the team at the Co-op for their assistance and a final donation to help us reach our ambitious target.

We’re also grateful to these generous sponsors for their support and provision of prizes:

Quality Furniture, Family Vision Centre, City Cab, Overlander Sports, Kingpin Centre, Aurora Ford, Midnight Petroleum, The Quilted Raven, The Medicine Shoppe, Yellowknife Association for Community Living, DC Moving, Home Hardware, YK Gold & Silver, AutoTec Toyota, Tim Hortons, Pioneer Supply House, The Centre Square Shopping Mall, Arctic Appliance, Sam’s Monkey Tree Pub and Northern Security Services.

Moose FM and more than 40 Vista Radio stations are working to raise more than a million dollars for local charities this month.
