The annual Feeding Families Radiothon for the Stan Fowler Santa Claus Fund hits the airwaves of Country 93.1 on Thursday, December 3rd.
We partner with the Schumacher Lions Club and Kinz and Klomp between six in the morning and six at night to raise money for food vouchers.
“Our main goal is to try to help as many families as we can at Christmas,” says Santa Claus Fund chair John McCauley. With the $123,000 we raised last year, 523 families got $175 vouchers.
“We were able to increase the voucher from $150 to $175 due to the fact that we did so well at the radiothon,” McCauley notes. “If we didn’t have to help any family, it would be fantastic.”
“We’re probably going to have even more people this year, just based on the economy and what’s going on in our country and south of the border.”
McCauley estimates that in the past three years, the number of families and seniors in need has increased 50% or 60%.
You’re encouraged to listen on December 3rd and pledge what you can.
