Cumulus Media announces that Cumulus Fresno News/Talk station KMJ 580AM/105.9FM raised $620,000 for the Central California Food Bank during KMJ’s 10th Annual Feeding Families Fund Drive, a one-day community collection drive on Friday, September 22, 2023.
In the last decade, KMJ’s Feeding Families Fund Drive has raised a total of over $4.4 Million to help feed area families in need through the Central California Food Bank. The fundraiser is conducted every year in partnership with the Musson family at Gar Bennett, which very generously matches 50% of the total funds raised through the drive. This year’s “Gar match” continues through the end of September, and KMJ is still collecting donations that will accrue to the total raised this year. Those wishing to donate may do so at https://ccfoodbank.org/.
Patty Hixson, Regional VP/Market Manager, Cumulus Fresno, said: "Every year this event gets bigger, and every year KMJ listeners respond with jaw-dropping generosity. Our very special thanks to the Musson family at Gar Bennett for their always unbelievable support and 50% match, which puts this drive over the top every year.”
Blake Taylor, Program Director, KMJ, said: "Bringing our community together for the greater good is truly inspiring. Feeding so many families in need as we head into the holidays is the best feeling, and we couldn’t do it without our generous listeners and sponsors Gar Bennett, Fresno-Madera Farm Credit, Amazon, and our host, The Market. A special thanks to Kym Dildine and the staff at Central California Food Bank, an incredible organization that helps so many in our community.”
