The Fourth Annual Stuff-a-Bus Toy Drive, benefiting Marine Toys for Tots, is under way at the Westfield Brandon shopping mall through 7 p.m. Dec. 17. HART buses parked across from Sears will be staged 24 hours a day.

HART buses are staged and ready for the onslaught of toys expected from the all-hands call issued by the Marine Toys for Tots to help kids in need.

So comes the word from Marcia Mejia, spokeswoman for Hillsborough Area Regional Transit, about the staging of HART buses 24 hours a day at the shopping mall.

This year's Fourth Annual Stuff-a-Bus Toy Drive launched at Westfield on Dec. 12 and runs through 7 p.m. Dec. 17.

"The best part is last year we collected 10 busloads of toys," Mejia noted. "We hope this year to do as well or even better."
