Members of the Central Illinois Ghostbusters are hosting the 6th Annual “Stuff-An-Ecto” event to benefit the 36th Annual Stuff-A-Bus food drive on Saturday, November 11, 2023 at the Kroger store located in East Peoria (201 S. Main St, East Peoria, IL 61611). From 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., members of the Central Illinois Ghostbusters will be at the store dressed in all their gear, and their very own version of the “Ecto” will also be on hand for customers and fans to check out.

Members of the Central Illinois Ghostbusters participating will be handing out Stuff-A-Bus shopping lists and encouraging customers to donate during this event. More information on the Central Illinois Ghostbusters is available on their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/CentralILGB.

For the past 36 years, CityLink has hosted the Stuff-A-Bus food drive to help eliminate hunger in Peoria. With a long partnership with Kroger to collect enough food to stuff a classic CityLink bus, the donations collected during the annual food drive benefit the food pantry at the Peoria Friendship House of Christian Service. In a year, the Peoria Friendship House food pantry provides an average of 150,000 meals to those dealing with hunger in Peoria. The 2023 campaign began on October 20, and it will conclude on November 29. The goal this year is to reach a new record and collect 13 tons of food. Donations can be purchased or dropped off at all Kroger store locations in Peoria and East Peoria.
