Flagler County Fifth Annual Million Dollar Food-A-Thon Runs November 13 With a 100,000 Dollar Goal, Where Each Dollar Donated Buys About Five Dollars of Food
Flagler Broadcasting will kick off the fifth annual Million Dollar Food-A-Thon on Friday, November 13, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on WNZF NewsRadio 94.9 in Flagler County, Florida, with a goal of 100,000 dollars.
David Ayres, president and general manager of Flagler Broadcasting, hosts the live fundraiser, which benefits Grace Community Food Pantry and Pastor Charles Silano work to feed local families as the holidays approach.
Through the pantry purchasing power, every dollar donated can buy about five dollars worth of food, a 10 dollar gift can buy about 50 dollars worth of groceries and a 100 dollar gift can buy about 500 dollars worth, so reaching the 100,000 dollar goal would put approximately 500,000 dollars worth of food on local tables.
Previous Food-A-Thons have already helped provide more than 1 million dollars worth of food, and according to Flagler Radio event figures, about 5,000 to 5,500 Flagler County families need food assistance each month, roughly 1,000 more than last year.
