Thanksgiving donation drive runs Nov. 3–26 to benefit Community FoodBank of New Jersey’s Southern Branch
South Jersey’s most recognizable radio voices are once again teaming up with the Community FoodBank of New Jersey to help ensure every food-insecure person in South Jersey can have a Thanksgiving meal.
103.7 WMGM Rocks, South Jersey’s biggest rock station, and its sister stations Kool 98.3, News Talk 1400 and 92.3 WOND are proud to present the 18th annual Operation Help campaign, collecting food and monetary donations for local families in need. This year’s event is presented by Broadley’s Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning and features three days of live broadcasts at the Community FoodBank of New Jersey in Egg Harbor Township.
Those who prefer to donate online can do so at LongportMedia.com, powered by Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. Operation Help collection bins for nonperishable food items are also located at participating area businesses.
“Each dollar donated provides three nutritious meals,” said Kool 98.3’s David Allen Pratt. “It’s amazing how big of an impact each of us can make even with just a few dollars.”
103.7 WMGM host Sean Patrick said, “It’s so heartwarming to see the community pull together year after year.”
Everyone is invited to drop off food and monetary donations in person during three days of live broadcasts at the Community FoodBank of New Jersey’s Egg Harbor Township location, Nov. 18–20.
