Pittsburgh Radio: Audacy Stations Team for Food Bank

Audacy raised funds to provide over 350,000 meals for people in need through Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. The “Giant Eagle Feed the Need Radiothon” directly benefits those dealing with food insecurity in the Pittsburgh region.

“This is what Pittsburghers do,” said Michael Spacciapolli, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Pittsburgh. "Time after time I am amazed at the incredible generosity and support that our city shows to each other in any time of need. We are so grateful at Audacy Pittsburgh to all of our partners and listeners who stepped up once again to help our friends at The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.”

“The Food Bank is proud to partner with Audacy on the 'Feed The Need Radiothon,'” said Lisa Scales, President and CEO, Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. “What started in response to the pandemic has now grown into an annual event that raises enough money for hundreds of thousands of meals for our neighbors in need. It reflects the power of community and how together, we can achieve lasting solutions to hunger and its root causes.”

“We are so appreciative of each and every person who chose to support the incredible efforts of Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank by participating in ‘Feed the Need,’” said Jannah Jablonowski, spokesperson, Giant Eagle. “Pittsburghers never fail to show up for one another, and we are in awe of how that generosity is once again shining through.”
