JVC Broadcasting's annual Food Fight Against Hunger once again brought Long Island listeners and communities together, with all seven JVC stations -- Party 105, LI News Radio, La Fiesta, My Country 96.1, En Vivo 1440 AM & 93.3 FM, and Big Hits 98.1 -- teaming up for the two-day event to fight local food insecurity.

Listeners and local partners demonstrated remarkable generosity, contributing more than 22,000 pounds of food, along with $1,055 in gift cards, $240 in turkey certificates, and $538 in cash donations to help Long Island families in need this holiday season.

"Thank you for a truly outstanding job. All our gratitude to the JVC staff at both locations on both days - they were absolutely fantastic," said Bruce Shepard, VP and GM of JVC Broadcasting NY. "Taking their weekend to help others, that's what local radio does. While we started off a little slow, we ended up doing very well given the current times."

JVC Broadcasting CEO John Caracciolo added, "We are so proud of our incredible staff for giving up their weekend to help our Long Island community. This is how local radio shines - people helping people, neighbors helping neighbors. JVC and our listeners continue to prove that local radio is better than all the rest."

All donations from the event will benefit families in Brookhaven and Riverhead.
