WCMH, Media General’s NBC affiliate in Columbus, Ohio, collected morel than $1 million dollars during an 18-hour fundraising event last week.
The money is enough to provide 7 million meals for central Ohio families.
Volunteers from AEP, Alliance Data, Express, Huntington Bank and Kroger staffed a special phone bank. The sponsor companies matched every dollar donated to Mid-Ohio Foodbank.
“It’s an honor and privilege for NBC4 to partner with Mid-Ohio Food Bank to mobilize the generosity of our community for this years’ ‘Double Your Donation Day’, said Ken Freedman, WCMH’s general manager.
“I’m always awed by the kindness of our neighbors in Central Ohio, witnessing them share their blessings with others less fortunate reflects the best in our community”.
This is the fourth year WCMH has hosted the all-day fundraiser. The station contributed to the total by donating $5,000 which was then doubled to $10,000.
