On Friday, November 18, the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank partnered with radio stations 98.1 WKDD, My 101.7 WHOF, 106.9 WRQK, 640 WHLO for the Long Haul Against Hunger. Listeners of the four stations were invited to drive by and drop off non-perishable food and monetary donations to help families struggling with hunger this holiday season. On-air personalities and Foodbank staff collected donations from 5:30 am to 7:00 pm at the Plaza at Chapel Hill on Howe Ave and the Thursday's Plaza in Belden Village.

The total amount raised for the Long Haul Against Hunger was an incredible $62,770 and 11,628 pounds of food. These donations will provide 197,255 meals for hungry men, women and children in our community.

Special thanks to our corporate partners that matched each and every monetary donation made that day: Ron Marhofer Auto Family, 415 Group, and The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company.
