Give what you can to help Stuff the Bus
PARTA will host its annual Stuff the Bus canned food drive on Sunday, November 17 from 10AM to 2PM at the Walmart on St. Rt. 59 in Ravenna Township. Donors are being asked to contribute canned goods to benefit the Kent Social Services (KSS) food pantry and the Randolph, Suffield, Atwater (RSA) Food Shelf. A list of requested items can be found here. However, any donated canned goods are welcome and appreciated.
KSS is dedicated to enhancing the nutrition of low-income residents of the Kent area by serving as the largest and most comprehensive hot meal and food pantry program in Kent. The RSA Food Shelf serves low-income residents in Randolph, Suffield, and Atwater. In addition to shelf stable canned and boxed food items the panties are also in need of donated laundry detergent, dish soap, shampoo, and other personal hygiene items.
PARTA increases service
Four of PARTA's fixed routes saw a significant increase in frequency in October. Additional daily trips were added to the 40 Suburban North and 45 Suburban South routes operating in Kent as well as the 80 Raven West and 85 Raven East routes operating in Ravenna.
Updated schedules for the affected routes are available on the Maps and Schedules page on the PARTA website. New printed schedules will be distributed when they become available.
