Jocks Help Florida Food Bank

In West Palm Beach, WIRK-FM (New Country 103.1) morning hosts Tim Leary and Chelsea Taylor held a three-day campaign Nov. 22-24 called “Friends Feeding Friends,” to raise money and food for the Palm Beach County Food Bank.

In just three days, the pair collected over 2.5 tons of food, and more than $7,500 — enough to buy more than 23,000 meals for those in need.

“People came out from all over South Florida to donate a turkey, a bag of canned goods, or cash,” said Leary. “There are more than 200,000 hungry people in our county. The response was so overwhelming I am speechless at the outpouring of giving from everyone in this community.”

“Cars drove up with money hanging out the windows, turkeys were being shuttled to the refrigerated truck, people also brought crates of fresh vegetables,” added Taylor. It was the best set of problems to have, ever! Our listeners are so incredible.”
