The Rotary Club of Westerville is thrilled to announce that the Fill The Big Bus Middle School Food Drive surpassed expectations, collecting 760 pounds of food and delivering 152 pounds to each of Westerville’s five middle schools. What a phenomenal show of generosity and community spirit!
The power of partnership
This success was made possible through the incredible collaboration between the Rotary Club of Westerville, Westerville Education Challenge (WEC), The Big Bus, and Walmart Supercenter Westerville, as well as the many volunteers, donors, and community supporters who got involved.
What This Means for Our Schools
Each of Westerville’s five middle schools now benefits from 152 extra pounds of food thanks to our collective efforts. These donations help students stay focused on learning, not hunger.
A bright outlook: $1,000 still on hand
In addition to the food collected, we’re pleased to report that $1,000 remains available to be allocated toward future food needs, ensuring this impact continues.
Reflecting with gratitude
A heartfelt thank you goes out to:
- Rotarians who donated, promoted, and volunteered
- WEC, for partnering and bringing the Fill The Big Bus initiative to the Night of Hope 5K & Family Fun Run
- The Big Bus for offering a mobile, visible drop‑off, and for amplifying the fun and outreach
- Walmart Supercenter Westerville, whose generous support helped kick-start the effort
- Every member of the community who stepped up to donate, run, walk, or spread the word
You all truly made a difference.
What’s next?
With food delivered and funds in hand, the Rotary Club remains committed to addressing the ongoing needs of students. This momentum sets the stage for upcoming initiatives.

The Fill The Big Bus Middle School Food Drive was a huge success! Thanks to a generous Walmart Supercenter Westerville grant, the Rotary Club of Westerville, and donations from our amazing community, 919 pounds of food are being donated to Westerville’s five middle schools to help make sure students have access to food they need.
This truly took a village, and we’re so grateful for everyone who helped make it happen!
Thank you Westerville Education Challenge for letting us partner with you at Night of Hope!
A huge thank you to Amber at Walmart Supercenter Westerville and all of the Rotary volunteers who donated their time and energy to collect, sort, pack, load, and deliver.
Special shoutout to Adam at Jersey Mike’s for providing the boxes we needed to pack it all up.
And a big thank you to Bryan at SME
for letting us borrow his truck to transport the food from Walmart to Westerville North.
We love seeing what can happen when local businesses, community organizations, and neighbors come together for our students. This is Westerville at its best!
