"The Erick Erickson Show" has launched its annual Thanksgiving meal campaign with nonprofit Hungry For A Day, encouraging listeners nationwide to fund holiday dinners for families in need.

The syndicated program raised more than $265,000 during last year's drive. This year's campaign will run through Thanksgiving in support of Hungry For A Day's goal of feeding 75,000 people nationwide.

Each $40 contribution provides a ready-to-eat holiday meal for a family of four. Dinners include turkey or smoked ham, side dishes, rolls and pie, distributed through local food banks, shelters and nonprofit partners. According to the campaign, all donations go toward meals, with administrative expenses covered separately.

"Last year our listeners put food on the table for thousands of families, and that generosity still moves me," said host Erick Erickson. "This isn't about politics; it's about compassion, faith, and stepping up for our neighbors."

Hungry For A Day works with local organizations to reach recipients, including families without the resources to prepare a holiday dinner.

Erickson's show airs live weekdays from noon-3pm ET and will promote the campaign on air through Thanksgiving. Donations and additional information are available here.
