Help WFI "Stuff the Bus"


Every year, local Wichita organizations join together to support two Wichita area domestic violence shelters, Catholic Charities Harbor House and the YWCA Women’s Crisis Center through the “Stuff the Bus” program.

Beginning early November, the public is asked to donate to these shelters by collecting new toys, non-perishable food, personal grooming products and other useful household goods and deliver them to approximately 40 participating “Stuff the Bus” locations.

Last year, the “Stuff the Bus” program was able to fill the Wichita Transit bus nine times.

This year, WFI is taking part in “Stuff the Bus” as a location site! If you want to donate items to these worthy causes, please drop off your items at our location, 1820 E. Douglas, between 9 am – 5 pm, Monday through Friday. The bus will make its rounds to the participating locations in Wichita the week of December 1-5. WFI’s designated pick-up day will be Tuesday, December 1 between 11:15-11:45 am.

Help support our community and donate items, beginning November 2, 2009.

Ocean Cruise or Snow Plowing?


I know which one I'd rather be doing when February rolls around.

If we are on the same page (and you were thinking ocean cruise, as well!), then don't fret! Wichita Festivals is here to save the day!

WFI is planning a 'Friends of the Festival' Cruise that departs Miami, Fla., on February 22, 2010 and sets sail for Mexico. The five-night cruise will make stops in Cozumel and Belize City before making its way back to Miami.

The cruise package is a fundraiser for WFI. Included in the per person cruise
fare is a $50 tax deductible contribution to WFI. Royal Caribbean will match that
contribution making this a win-win for everyone!

For more information on the perfect-timing, breath-taking, sun-gazing, no-cold-weather-allowed cruise, click here.

We would love to see you on the ship in February! Be sure to call Devin Hansen, Sunflower Travel, at (316) 634-1700 and book your spot today.
