Help Feed The Hungry

Mid-Michigan’s “Day of Giving”

Friday, December 10, 2010

Lansing, MI.: More people are struggling to feed their families. Food banks and community kitchens across the area are stretched thin, trying to meet the need.

This is where you come in.

Mid-Michigan’s 4^th Annual “Day of Giving” to focus on feeding the hungry.

Together, we can make an impact in our community by serving this most basic need.

A need - that must be met. The best way to do it - is with cash. One dollar ($1) can purchase FIVE (5) meals. Non-perishable goods will be accepted as well.

Beginning at Noon on Friday, December 10^th, WLNS will dedicate its resources to meeting the needs of the hungry in our community, leading up to a 1 hour special from 7 – 8PM. Dean Trailways is providing a bus at WLNS – to stuff full of non- perishable food. Volunteers will accept donations at the WLNS TV 6 Studios, 2820 East Saginaw Street, Lansing, and Allegiance Health, 205 North East Avenue in Jackson. A Phone bank to accept cash donations will be operating between 12 Noon and 8PM, and on line donations can be made at www.wlns.com.

Mid-Michigan’s “Day of Giving” is made possible by Auto-Owners Insurance.

Radio station partners - Q106 and 92.1 will also support the efforts, along with Adams Outdoor, Williams Auto World and LEPFA. Major support has already come in from Accident Fund Insurance Company and Tripp’s Auto Body.

Non-Profit Agency partners include: The Capital Area United Way, The United Way of Jackson County, Eaton County United Way, Livingston County United Way, the Salvation Army in Lansing,  Mid-Michigan Food Bank, American Red Cross – Livingston County, Greater Lansing Food Bank, Salvation Army – Jackson County, Food Bank of South Central Michigan and the American Red Cross – Mid-Michigan Chapter.

With your help, we can impact the lives of those who are struggling to keep their families fed this holiday season, and throughout the year. Mid-Michigan’s “Day of Giving” is an opportunity to do just that. Please give whatever you can.
