Staff at WCCO 830 AM are returning home from Washington D.C. with the 2015 Service to America Award.

The award was presented Tuesday night by the National Association of Broadcaster’s Education Foundation (NABEF).

The Service to America Award honors radio and television broadcasters for campaigns, projects or programs that service the public good or otherwise provide exemplary service to their local communities.

Through PSAs, events and fundraisers, WCCO helped the hungry through year-round outreach. With “Let’s Kick Hunger Day,” WCCO engaged listeners, celebrities and charity groups to replenish food shelves across 59 counties.
