Stuff the Bus 2026 - Get Involved!
Tuesday, December 15, 2026
Description
Stuff the Bus is back! Join businesses across our community in collecting new, unwrapped gifts for local nonprofits serving individuals, families, seniors, and pets throughout the region.
Stuff the Bus 2026 is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors and partners: Northeast Bank, our Presenting Sponsor; Northeast Charter & Tour Co., our transportation partner; Walmart, our Retail Sponsor; and Central Maine Federal Credit Union and Central Maine Healthcare, our Supporting Sponsors. We are grateful for their continued commitment to bringing our community together to support local nonprofits.
🎁Ways to Get Involved
Business Sign-Up Deadline: November 9
Sign up by November 9 to be participating collection site!
Public Drop-Off Location
Open your business to the community as a public collection site. We’ll promote your location and encourage people to bring donations to you.
Internal Gift Drive
Host a gift drive within your workplace, organization, or team. Internal drives are not promoted as public collection sites, but are a great way to get your employees involved in giving back.
All participating collection sites can choose to be part of our Stuff the Bus pickup route on December 15 or can drop off gifts to the Chamber directly on December 14.
💛 Prefer to Give Money Instead?
You can make a monetary donation instead of hosting a gift drive. Donations help our Chamber elves shop for the items most needed by our nonprofit partners.
