Give a Lift.  Ride for Free.

WHEELS 14th Annual Holiday Food Drive.  Trade a Food for a Fare.


Donate a Can of Food ... Help area families.

Ride for FREE while lifting Tri-Valley families in need during the week of December 1 – 7, 2007 with a donation of any non-perishable food item for fixed route passengers.

All food will be donated to the Tri-Valley Haven Food Pantry, which distributes free groceries to over 1,000 low-income families per month and provides shelter, counseling, education, and community outreach for Tri-Valley residents in need.  There is no limit to the number of free fare exchanges during that week.
