The Erick Erickson Show recently completed its charity drive for the Hungry For A Day non-profit, and it was a record year for giving.
The national non-profit partners with food banks around the nation to provide Thanksgiving meals for families in need.
$319,038 was raised to support the initiative of ensuring as many Americans as possible have a robust Thanksgiving meal. Hungry For A Day reports that $40 will feed an entire family at Thanksgiving. That means Erickson’s listeners funded meals for just shy of 8,000 families around the country.
“Every year we do this, my listeners overwhelm me with their generosity,” Erickson said. “This year, we have raised enough to support thousands of families. Hungry For A Day will make sure each family has a turkey or smoked ham, sweet or mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, green beans, rolls, and a pie. In situations where a family lacks the means to cook the meal, Hungry For a Day and their local partners will make sure the meal arrives ready to eat.”
The Erick Erickson Show originates from 95.5 WSB in Atlanta and is distributed nationally by Compass Media Networks. Hungry For A Day was launched in 2012 and is based in Smyrna, Georgia.
