Cox Media Group/Atlanta's radio stations partnered with the Atlanta Community Food Bank to collect 14,478 pounds of food between November 11-18. The effort by WALR (Kiss 104.1), WSBB-FM & WSB-AM (95.5 WSB), WSB-FM (B98.5) and WSRV (97.1 The River) generated 16,965 meals for food-insecure individuals in Georgia.

"This year was a record-breaking year for pounds of food collected that will make a positive impact on our community. We're thankful for the partnership with Atlanta Community Food Bank and grateful to be able to help struggling families during this time of 'thanks' and 'giving'," said Cox Media Group Atlanta Radio Vice President and Market Manager Jaleigh Long.

"We're thankful for the tremendous support shown to the Food Bank by the listeners and fans, radio personalities, and team members across Cox Media Group's Atlanta stations. For more than 5 years, fans of the stations have come out in force to donate food and funds to help us meet the growing need across our communities," added Atlanta Community Food Bank President and CEO Kyle Waide. "Visits to food pantries are up 40% over last year, as many hard-working families across our 29 county service area continue to struggle in the face of higher costs for food, housing, healthcare and more. The food and funds raised during these events will have a huge, positive impact on the lives of countless neighbors who bear the emotional and physical stress of food insecurity."
