On Saturday, December 17th, 2022, Antelope Valley Transit Authority, in partnership with a team of generous sponsors, will host the Holiday Drive Thru Grocery and Toy Giveaway.

                      
"AVTA is committed to partnering with the Antelope Valley community each holiday season in this effort to bring joy to those residents in need," said AVTA Board Chairman Marvin Crist. "The AVTA board of directors, management, and staff, joined with many generous organizations, strive to make a real difference for A.V. families in need. We are all thrilled to be able to serve our residents in this manner.”
             
Turkeys, holiday meal supplies, groceries, toys, and clothing will be distributed at the AVTA Bus facility located at 42210 6th Street West, Lancaster, CA 93534 from 10 AM to 3 PM (while supplies last).

Residents of the Antelope Valley communities can drive through and pick up a turkey or ham, and other holiday groceries, plus toys or clothing for children from the AVTA Stuff-a-Bus program.
                                                                                                                                   
Toy collections were organized and staffed by AVTA Stuff-a-Bus team and the 2022 participating charities: the Children’s Bureau, Antelope Valley Partners for Health, the Child and Family Guidance Center, JustServe, Valley Oasis, the Boys & Girls Club of the Antelope Valley, and the South Antelope Valley Emergency Services of Palmdale (SAVES).

The Drive Thru Grocery Giveaway event is made possible by the generous donations from Antelope Valley Transit Authority, City of Lancaster, City of Palmdale, A.V. Chevrolet, Teamsters Local 848, Antelope Valley Sheriff’s Boosters, Waste Management, IBEW, Vallarta Supermarkets, the L.A.
