No child should ever go hungry but right here in the Motor City the number of children living in poverty has more than doubled in the last decade. The number of homeless students has jumped more than 300%, and well over half a million people live in poverty in Southeast Michigan. But there is hope.
Join the 104.3 WOMC Radiothon for Gleaners, Thursday, February 16th from 6 a.m. – 8 p.m., for a very special broadcast Live from Gleaners Community Food Bank Of Southeastern Michigan.
Gleaners distributes 40 million pounds of emergency food to over 600 partner soup kitchens, shelters and pantries in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston and Monroe counties. Gleaners provides the equivalent of 85,000 meals per day to people who otherwise cannot afford the food they need. Of every dollar donated, Gleaners uses 94 cents for food and food programs. One dollar provides three meals for a hungry neighbor.
During the Radiothon you can become a Hunger Hero by donating at least $20 a month for 12 months during the 104.3 WOMC Radiothon. All Hunger Heroes will receive a limited edition Made In Detroit t-shirt! Plus, Hunger Heroes who donate by phone are entered for a chance to win valuable hourly incentives!
So help make a difference, Thursday, February 16th during the 104.3 WOMC Radiothon for Gleaners and be a hunger hero!
