HOLIDAY CHEER FEEDS LOCAL FAMILIES

-

Now through December 24th

The holidays provide a time to gather friends and family for celebratio­n, gratitude, and the anticipati­on that a new year brings. We are fortunate to enjoy these special moments of celebratio­n with those we love and reflect on all that we have to be thankful.

But we know this is not the holiday experience many in our community have. Many of our neighbors in need are seniors living on fixed incomes, families struggling to pay heating bills, veterans looking for work, and children going to bed without enough to eat.

For the past 35 years, we have worked together with Burger King, "Gold Country" WOBL 1320AM & 107.7FM, "Kool Kat" Oldies WDLW 1380AM & 98.9FM to raise funds during the holiday season.

Second Harvest provides millions of pounds of food annually to a network of over 112 partner charities throughout Lorain, Erie, Huron and Crawford counties. For 35 years, Holiday Cheer has helped provide millions of nutritious meals to families struggling to make ends meet during the holidays. It would not be possible without our generous community who supports Holiday Cheer each year.

We are asking for your support in a special way by making a donation to the 2018 Holiday Cheer effort. For every $1 donated, Second Harvest is able to provide five meals.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

• VISIT participat­ing Burger King restaurant­s from November 19 through December 24 to donate in Lorain, Erie & Huron counties
