In support of Project Share Niagara, the Professional Hockey Players’ Association (PHPA) is working with Community Transport Group (CTG) 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 18^th.  Community Transport Group 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:

• Gifts for Toddlers (Toddler & Pre-School Toys)
• Gifts for Children (board games, LEGO, Action Figures, Dolls)
• Gifts for Teenagers (makeup/nail polish, perfume/cologne, clothing, gift cards)
• Pajamas
• Winter Accessories (hats, mitts, scarves, jackets)
• Toiletries (toothbrushes, body wash, shampoo, etc.)
• Non-perishable food items

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 4,400 people last Christmas thanks to the generous support of the Niagara Falls community!

The Professional Hockey Players’ Association is the certified, US National Labor Relations Board collective bargaining representative for all professional hockey players within the American Hockey League (AHL) and ECHL, and proud supporter of “Stuff the Bus!”.
