MATBUS Invites Passengers to Celebrate Season of Giving with Food Donations and Free Rides

Donate a non-perishable food item and ride for free on Saturdays in December

12/05/2024

This December, MATBUS is presenting the 2nd annual Season of Giving. Each Saturday in December, passengers can ride any MATBUS fixed route for FREE when they donate a non-perishable food item on board the bus. This promotion will not apply to MAT Paratransit.

Each week, the donations will be collected, weighed and brought to the Emergency Food Pantry. Your donations will have a positive and direct impact on our community, helping our neighbors in need. In 2023, MATBUS passengers donated more than 500 pounds of food.

If you have never used MATBUS, check out MATBUS.com, which has helpful tools like the “How to Ride” video and Google Maps-powered trip planning. Track your bus in real time with the new website – RideMATBUS.com. New riders can also call the Customer Care Center at 701.232.7500 option 1, or message MATBUS on Facebook, X or Instagram with any questions.
