In support of Project Share Niagara, the Professional Hockey Players’ Association (PHPA) is working with Scenic Tours of Niagara and other local businesses to help families in need throughout the Niagara region this holiday season.
The goal is simple: Stuff the Bus!
Members of the community are being asked to help stuff a 20 foot bus, located at the PHPA office in Niagara Falls, with items such as toys, gifts, toiletries, and non-perishable food items until December 14th.
Scenic Tours of Niagara will then drive the bus to Project Share, helping families in need experience the joy of the holiday season.
You can help Stuff the Bus by donating the most common needed items at this time of year including:
Unwrapped items can be dropped off at the bus located in the PHPA parking lot during regular business hours (8:30am – 5pm) at 3964 Portage Road in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
Project Share was able to provide food and gifts for over 4,000 people last Christmas thanks to the generous support of the Niagara Falls community!
The Professional Hockey Players’ Association is the certified, collective bargaining representative for all professional hockey players within the American Hockey League (AHL) and ECHL, and proud supporter of “Stuff the Bus!”.
