The kids have been very present here donating at Camp Out Hunger. It's times like these where I am so proud of them and most importantly their parents, so I wrote you all a letter.
The stats are staggering when it comes to hunger in Maine. It's a stigma that is thick but vital to know and try to help our brothers and sisters struggle to eat in our state.
Where do I even start? I'll start with YOU are amazing!
I decided to start with you because there is no way Camp Out Hunger 2020 could have been as successful as it was with you! Together we as a community came together and blew our initial goal out of the water...
Today is day four of Camp Out Hunger, and we have loaded up and filled one of the two Uhaul trucks. We have had so many amazing people stop in, in hopes of giving back to their neighbors. It really is what it is all about helping those around you, the ones you might not even know...
It's day 3 of Camp Out Hunger, which means we are at the halfway point of our weeklong food drive. Buzz and I, and Matt and Renee from the Moose Morning show, are camped out in Sam's Club parking lot collecting food, and we are still in need of nonperishable food donations...
Coats For Kids Campaign is underway here in Central Maine. With the colder temps comes the need for warm coats, hats and mittens. Your outgrown outerwear can be the difference in a child's winter. PrattAbbot Cleaners receives the donated items, cleans them and the Salvation Army distributes them.
I started working at B98.5 on August 20, 2000 and that November we started the Tanksgiving Food Drive. It was the idea of then morning show co-host Genny Judge. It's hard to believe that we are already doing the 16th Annual Tanksgiving Food Drive!
The annual 'Tanks'Giving Food Drive is starting on November 2nd. The first 'Tanks'Giving Food Drive started in November 2000 and over the 15 years the tons of food and thousands of dollars have all stayed right here in central Maine.
