It was a big effort by the personalities of Spencer’s Neighborhood and the entire 106.5 The Arch (St. Louis) staff. Setting out with a goal to collect 10,000 diapers to help the flood victims, they were swamped with more than 50,000 over the Labor Day Holiday Weekend. Dierberg’s donated an additional 5,000 diapers, and major supporter Big Boots BBQ came through with another 2,500 diapers.
Program Director Scott Roddy said, “We are humbled by the generosity of the last four days. Serving our local community is 106.5 The Arch, and our parent company, Hubbard Broadcasting’s, credo. That the Arch could be the conduit for flood relief between St. Louis to families affected by the tragedy of Hurricane Harvey in Texas, was an honor. Local businesses like Dierberg’s, Victorian Sales, and Big Boots BBQ; churches, police stations, and thousands of others bigheartedly showed the true spirit and heart of our community. Spencer’s Neighborhood and all of the on-air Arch Allies sincerely thank followers from all over the bi-state for helping to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.”
