Food drive

don't understand money as much either at nine.

And so you can go to your dad and say, how about we donate to that Gal Busta Gravy food drive? Can we put like, I don't know, a

million dollars into it? Just say that to your dad.

And Armando, I know you've got that sort of money.

She was arrested and charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

The students at Ursuline College Chatham are once again collecting food for their Lancers Scare Hunger food drive.

Students will be collecting non-perishables and canned goods throughout Chatham on October 29th between 5 and 8 PM.

Residents are asked to leave their donations on their porch with a light on.

And I always feel that if people aren't fed, some of the other problems are even more difficult.

So starting with the biggest problem, and there's so many people out there that don't get enough food to eat every day, and that's why we created God Bless the Gravy, our food drive broadcast.

And this is the sixth year in a row of God Bless the Gravy, culminating in last year, you did this, helped us raise 250,000 meals for people in need.

That was a record, and we know it's harder than ever to ask for donations, but it's the one time of the year we ask you to help your neighbors and help people that you know, because quite frankly, it's been harder than ever in the history of anybody out there alive to get some food.

We've talked about going to the grocery store and what happens.

So, Q101.

Brian and Kenzie are once again asking you to donate the crew to come together for God Bless the Gravy, our annual holiday food drive.

Veteran benefiting a new partner, the Northern Illinois Food Bank.

I was forced.

Your holiday toy food drive, I learned how to play dominoes there, but it has been a part of Kansas City for more than 30 years.

Where did that idea originally come from?

This is gonna sound crazy, So as I was finding my niche in my career, I'd always told my mom and dad that if I made it to a position that I could help those that are less fortunate than I was, the area that I came up in, that I would do so.

I came up with the idea that I was gonna do.

I said, you know what? I'm not doing no 24 hours.

I said, I'm gonna do a 48 hour nonstop toy and food drive where the whole time I would be on the air soliciting people to bring out canned goods, toys, whatever the case may be.

And then at the end of the marathon, I would donate the toys to the Marines Toys for Tots, and I would donate the food to Harvester's Food Network.

I was, um, with actually Diego and Caio at a meeting at FISH Food Pantry about, oh, six weeks ago.

And we were asked if, um, we could do a student-led food drive for Galesburg.

And I said we would love to do a student-led food drive, but we have many more hungry families in the region, so if we're going to do this, we wanna do this for all of the communities that we're serving.

So we walked out the door and threw a plan together really quickly in about a week and a half.

If Madison was here, I'd be looking at her and saying, "Why don't you talk about that?"

Because she's responsible for that.

And we began reaching out to schools.

And, uh, we're very, very pleased to have had a dozen schools respond to us and be engaged in this because there are quite a few food drives going on everywhere.

And beyond DBI, Mary Ellis serves on the Board of Directors for REAL, the Real Estate Association of Latino Professionals, and the Coalition for Hispanic Family Services, a nonprofit that empowers children, youth, and families while reinforcing cultural identity.

She's also a volunteer at Bread and Life, Knightsbridge Heights, Community Center and Drive Change, where she has organized and served at Food Drives and Exalt Youth, where she mentors the organization's scholars.

And if that's not enough, as a leader, I have to say this because I think it's so massively impressive, but she grew up really between two countries.

And we'll talk a little bit about that.

Critics say the changes would distort federal funding and congressional representation for years to come.

Public comment is open through October 13th at regulations.gov. And we're counting down to the 40th annual ABC11 Together Food Drive.

The drive helps put meals on the tables for families all across Central North Carolina.

And this year, our goal is to raise 1.4 million meals.

part.That's right.

The food bank says every dollar can help provide three meals.

Our ABC 11 Together food drive kicks off November 18th.

And right now, at 9:48, here goes a live look at Fayetteville Street, where you can see the City Plaza stage as they get ready for the Raleigh Wide Open Spaces.

Other things happening in two weeks is Gordy's 8th annual food drive.

I did post on social media a little earlier on Tuesday regarding it.

We do have a wish list of items that are being requested by the Veterans Food Bank, but don't feel like you only have to bring these.
