Nino Salvaggio International Marketplace, the premier specialty market in metro Detroit, will once again host the 96.3 WDVD Annual Stuff-A-Bus to collect toys for thousands of children in need across metro Detroit.

To make sure every child has a joyous holiday, the public is asked to bring new, unwrapped toys to the Stuff-A-Bus that will be located, Thursday through Sunday, Dec. 10-13, in the parking lot of Nino Salvaggio International Marketplace in Clinton Township (17496 Hall Road).

Once the bus is filled to the brim with presents, the toys will be sent to area nonprofit groups including Neighborhood Service Organization, Beaumont Children’s Hospital, Bridgepointe, Bottomless Toy Chest, Orchards Children’s Services, The Ronald McDonald House of Detroit and Volunteers of America.
