SUNRISE BROADCASTING

HOSTS ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE

Sunrise Broadcasting will host its annual Food Drive to benefit the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. The drive begins Friday, November 19^th at 12 noon, and concludes on Saturday November 20^th
at 12 noon.

For the past 7 years we have raised food over a 50 hour period. Last year during that period we raised $2037.73 in cash, $310.00 virtual food drive, and 9,230 lbs of food for a total of 17,550 meals.

This year we want to raise 24,000 meals in 24 hours. During the 24 hour period our personalities, Stanley B from Jammin’ 99.9, Mark from Sunny 104.5, Awebb from Surf 98.3, and Foz and Jocelyn from Z 107.5 will be
broadcasting live from Lowes Foods located at 341 South College Road… for the full 24
hours!

In the four counties served by the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina at Wilmington, 56,469 individuals are at risk of hunger. Of those 6,641 are 65 years and older
and 16,897 are children.

The need for food continues to increase in our community. With thousands of at-risk children, the oncoming cold weather, and the daily battle the hungry face, Sunrise Broadcasting is partnering with
Two Men and A Truck and Lowes Foods to make a difference.

Sunrise Broadcasting is requesting canned goods and non-perishable items to be dropped off at Lowes Foods, 341 South College Road.
