Minnesota’s News Talk 830 WCCO raised more than a half-million dollars for the fight against hunger during a recent radiothon.
The 13th annual Let’s Kick Hunger Day Radiothon raised $544,974 with the proceeds going to benefit Second Harvest Heartland, a local food bank serving the greater Minneapolis area.
“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, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Entercom Minneapolis.
Second Harvest Heartland is one of the nation’s leading hunger-relief organizations. The collaboration between WCCO and the food bank has resulted in over $2.5 million being raised since 2009.
“The actions of our listeners and our local team will help thousands of families in need. It’s a joyous day,” said Knoepke.
