WDHA’s Amazing Marathon Day At The Community Foodbank Of New Jersey
It’s TC and as you know WDHA loves getting out in the community so we are excited to invite you to listen to…
Marathon Day At The Community Foodbank Of New Jersey“- Friday, April 5th, beginning at 10am with ME and rocking through Midnight with Scotty B and Rockturnal.
WHY THE MARATHON?
Well, It’s the Community Foodbank’s 3rd annual 24-Hour Pack-a-Thon” as they kick off volunteer appreciation month which begins Friday 4./5 at 9am and runs through Saturday morning 4/6 at 9a.
WDHA will be live on the air from the CBNJ’s Hillside Warehouse at 31 Evans Terminal Rd in Hillside New Jersey.
During the Pack-a-Thon, volunteers are coming together to pack boxes of non-perishable food for families in need in New Jersey, which will be given to CFBNJ’s 800 community partners to distribute in their local communities. ·
Volunteers will work in the warehouse for 24 hours straight in 2-hour shifts. Participants include companies, community groups, and individuals. It’s a super energizing event and WDHA is proud, humble and honored to provide the music and energy for the volunteers who will be working so hard.
Volunteers are the backbone of CFBNJ, making a lasting impact year-round. They pack boxes for vulnerable seniors, create Family Packs for weekends when kids miss school meals, and ensure no child goes to bed hungry through the Kids Cafe program. The mission of CFBNJ would not be possible without the dedication of incredible volunteers who give their time and hearts to this amazing cause.
ABOUT THE COMMUNITY FOODBANK Of New Jersey-
The statistics in New Jersey are staggering for food insecurity. Nearly 815,000 struggle with hunger which according to The Community Foodbank of New Jersey is 1 in 11 residents and CFBNJ is the state’s largest food bank and next year will celebrate their 50th anniversary. I truly don’t remember a time that WDHA was NOT involved with them. It’s been an amazing partnership.
Many of the volunteer shifts for this event are filled with teams packing up the warehouse, but help is still needed in the late night- overnight hours so if you would like to volunteer- Pack a Thon Volunteer link.
