Cox Media Group Atlanta stations (WSBB-FM/WSB-AM, WSB-FM, WSRV-FM, WALR-FM) partnered with the Atlanta Community Food Bank to collect food and donations during the annual pre-Thanksgiving food drive. The event included live radio broadcasts by participating stations on November 14 and November 21 to educate listeners about the increased need at food banks due to the pandemic, and to encourage donations.
"We are so grateful to Cox Media Group for their support," said Atlanta Community Food Bank President and CEO Kyle Waide. “No one should be denied participating in their holiday traditions because of the economic impact of the pandemic, and we hope that the food and funds raised during the events hosted by Cox Media Group will help bring a sense of normalcy to Georgians who are in need this holiday season."
