Last year WKYC helped the Cleveland Foodbank pull off their largest one day food drive in foodbank history thanks to everyone's generosity in dropping off canned food items during our one day event.
This year, we are aiming to make the event even bigger and beat last year's total."Heroes Help Northeast Ohio" will be held on Thursday, October 22nd, from 5 am to 7:30 pm in front of the WKYC Digital Broadcast Center, 1333 Lakeside Avenue in Downtown Cleveland.
WKYC staffers will be on hand all day to collect items in a drive through that will be easy and convenient.
In addition to collecting food, WKYC will also be collecting new or gently worn coats for our annual "Coats for Kids" campaign we hold each year with our radio partners. Plus, we'll accept holiday gifts for the Salvation Army.
We need everyone's help in the community to be part of the Hero Army and make the day a complete success.
Please encourage your kids' schools or neighborhood schools to take part. Plus your local charity organizations are also welcome. We you to collect items and between now and October 22nd and then turn them in the day of our drive.
Help WKYC make a difference in our community on Thursday, October 22nd with "Heroes Help Northeast Ohio." You'll be glad you did.
