WQKL is in Ann Arbor Michigan where PD Chris Ammel lets us know that in only five days his team collected 203 tons of food for the local food bank, despite a challenging economy. "Volunteers and radio personalities braved long hours, and at times, frigid weather outside Kroger to collect food and donations for the Food Gatherers? food rescue and food bank program."
President and CEO of Food Gatherers Eileen Spring said, "This generous support allows Food Gatherers to meet the urgent and pressing demand for food in our own community. On behalf of all the people seeking food assistance this year, we are so grateful to ann arbor?s 107one, Kroger and the citizens of Washtenaw County for making a real difference in our community. When we needed you most, you rose to the challenge." Food Gatherers is Washtenaw County?s food bank and food rescue program. Since its inception in 1988, Food Gatherers has distributed more than 39 million pounds of food for the community.
