food drive

Governor and Mrs. LePage want to say ‘Thank you’ to everyone who helped out this year with the governor’s annual food drive. Maine's first family says the food drive in which donors dropped off non-perishables at the Blaine House brought in about 1,568 pounds of food for Maine families.

We have been writing a lot about our 13th annual 'TANKsgiving Food Drive' but I want to take a minute to thank the Maine Army National Guard, especially the 152nd Maintenance Division, for all their help and service during the week of collecting food...

THANK YOU! Thanks again this year for your wonderful support of B98.5′s 13th Annual “TANKS”giving Food Drive. After a long 98.5 hours, it was worth it. You have helped to donate 7 tons of food and about $3,700. That will go along way to feeding the hungry in central Maine. It's very much appreciated by the Augusta Salvation Army & the Waterville Salvation Army and many are food banks. Read Mor

Today is election day and as I was broadcasting live from Goggin's IGA in Randolph this morning, I saw many customers walking into the store with their 'I Voted Today' stickers. I also saw plenty of generous people donating to the 'TANKS'giving food drive.

I have worked at B-98.5 since August 2000 and that November was the first year of 'TANKSgiving' food drive with the Maine Army National Guard. This year could be the coldest 'TANKSgiving' week we've had. On Monday, we kicked things off and I was with the Maine Army National Guard at Shaw's in Waterville.

Day 1 We're underway...Join me for B98.5′s 13th Annual “TANKS”giving Food Drive, Today through Friday (November 5th-9th,) at the TANK on top of the hill at Camp Keyes, just off Western Avenue in Augusta. Thanks to you, “TANKS”giving has become one of New England’s largest food drives...

The first day of 'TANKS'giving is always the hardest. Glitches, feedback, burnt out lights and the cold! Looking at the weather all weekend it said sunny and highs of 44 degrees. That's pretty warm compared to a few 'TANKS'givings we've had in the past. Last year we were spoiled with great weather. This year, it looks like it's going to be a challenge! BRING IT, MOTHER NATURE!

Time to get ready for the annual B98.5 Tanksgiving food drive. It runs this week November 5 to 9 at Camp Keys in Augusta. The old tank at the top of the hill is the inspiration for the name and it’s where the Maine Army National Guard sets a tent for me live in for the week.

Join Randy McCoy for B98.5's 13th Annual "TANKS"giving Food Drive, November 5th-9th, at the TANK on top of the hill at Camp Keyes, just off Western Avenue in Augusta. Thanks to you, "TANKS"giving has become one of New England's largest food drives.

I started working at B-98.5 in August of 2000 and that November we started our annual 'Tanksgiving Food Drive' with the Maine Army National Guard. The idea was that of Randy McCoy's former morning co-host, Genny Judge. That first year, Genny lived in the tank at Camp Keyes, through cold and rain as we collected non-perishable food for Central Maine.
