The annual Stuff-A-Bus campaign is returning this spring to collect food, clothing, and monetary donations for the UHC – Hub of Opportunities.

Zehrs and Transit Windsor are once again teaming up for the initiative.

“The annual Stuff-A-Bus campaign continues to have a positive impact in the community, highlighting the strength of partnerships and the spirit of generosity that exists within Windsor‑Essex,” said Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens. “The City is pleased to support initiatives like this that connect vulnerable people with the help they need.”

Now in its third year, Stuff-A-Bus invites Windsor–Essex residents to give back at a series of collection events hosted at local Zehrs locations.

“Whether it’s food, clothing, or a small donation, every contribution makes a difference, and we’re grateful to be part of an initiative that supports the important work of the UHC – Hub of Opportunities,” said Attila Kadar, Manager, St. Clair Beach Zehrs.

Donations collected through the campaign will directly support individuals and families who rely on the UHC – Hub of Opportunities for food assistance and other essential services.

Each Stuff-A-Bus event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a Transit Windsor bus on site to accept donations at the following locations:

• Saturday, May 9, 2026, Zehrs® Parkway, 7201 Tecumseh Road East
