Stuff the Bus Motors Into Long Valley Saturday

Annual event will be setup at Long Valley Presbyterian Church from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

For the fifth consecutive year, Long Valley residents will have the opportunity to help those in need in the community by stuffing an entire school bus – hopefully more – with goods that will fill the Long Valley Food Pantry.

The event, which will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25 at the Long Valley Presbyterian Church on Bartley Road, is open to all residents and coincides with National Make-A-Difference Day.

The list of goods needed by the pantry include:
