Audacy raised over $367,000 to provide meals and care for those in need through 830 WCCO's 21st annual "Hunger Mission Radiothon" in Minneapolis. The amount raised during this year's event, which benefits Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities (UGMTC), brought the overall fundraising total to over $4.3 million since 2003.

"We are simply in awe of the incredible generosity of our fans! This is yet another great example of how live and local radio can truly impact lives," said WCCO Brand Manager Brad Lane. "We're so proud of our team for helping share these transformative stories from the inspiring work being done at Union Gospel Mission."

"This has been a fantastic day where the community has truly come together and shown their heart. So many generous donors tuned in and donated so we can address the needs of their neighbors experiencing homelessness, hunger and addiction," said Union Gospel Mission CEO Pam Axberg. "We are deeply grateful for the donors who make it possible for us to do this important work and for the opportunity to share our story more broadly."

830 WCCO's 21st annual "Hunger Mission Radiothon" is a part of Audacy's commitment to making a meaningful difference at scale. Audacy uses its reach and personal connection with listeners to advance causes that promote strong mental health and build sound communities.
