In Minneapolis, 830 WCO's 13th annual "Let's Kick Hunger Day Radiothon" raised a record-breaking $544,974 to benefit Second Harvest Heartland. The results from this year's virtual event on February 4 brought the overall fundraising total to over $2.5 million since 2009.
"Second Harvest Heartland is on the hunger fight of our lives right now during this pandemic, and the WCCO Radio listeners have stepped up for the people who need us most," said Shannon Knoepke, SVP/MM, Entercom Minneapolis. "The actions of our listeners and our local team will help thousands of families in need. It's a joyous day."
Second Harvest Heartland is among the nation's largest, most effective hunger-relief organizations. Fighting hunger in the Midwest for more than three decades, we believe no one should go hungry, especially in the heartland where there is more than enough food for everyone.
