Cape Cod Broadcasting’s WKPE-FM Cape Country 103.9 partnered with the Cape Cod Melody Tent to organize a military food drive for the Ma Otis Food Pantry. Cape Cod Broadcasting ran a two week on-air campaign before collecting non-perishable food items at a Trace Adkins Concert. Ma Otis, an emergency food pantry located on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is run by Military Spouses and Active Duty members that want to help fellow military and their families.
“We were thrilled with the response of our listeners and of the concert-goers that brought items the night of the concert,” said promotions director Kim Lucas. “The highlight of the night for all of us was seeing some of the active military that were at the event to help with the food drive get to meet and pose for photos with Trace Adkins. A great event with an overwhelming community response, we were thrilled to make a significant contribution and bring much needed exposure to this deserving organization serving our communities military and families."
