Today’s the day! The WDEL Feed a Friend Campaign is officially on starting at 9AM. Remember that this event raises funds for the Newark Area Welfare Committee, the Sunday Breakfast Mission, the Emmanuel Dining Room, YWCA Delaware and the St. Paul’s Church Outreach Center — all great organizations working to feed our neighbors who might need a little help. For each $11.50 you can pledge, these groups can buy a case of food — a great deal for the money. We’re encouraging all of DL’s readers and commenters to call WDEL — 302-478-9335 — during Al Mascitti’s show from 9 til 12 to pledge what you can to this worthy cause. If you can, please help spread the word to your Facebook friends and ask them to call in too. Here’s some suggested text if you want to cut and paste:
I just called WDEL to support the Feed A Friend Food Drive, helping the Newark Area Welfare Committee, the Sunday Breakfast Mission, the Emmanuel Dining Room, YWCA Delaware and the St. Paul’s Church Outreach Center buy food for our neighbors who might need some help this season. $11.50 buys a case of food for these organisations — call this morning at 302-478-9335 to pledge your support.
So start your War on Christmas right — call WDEL and pledge to help the Feed A Friend drive. SNAP has been cut and there are threats of more cuts, so please be generous!
