STORIES. THE WXII 12 NEWS ROOM IS FOLLOWING RIGHT NOW. SO FIRST WE WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO MADE OUR FIRST FOOD DRIVE OF 2020 FOR YESTERDAY. A GREAT SUCCESS, ALL BENEFITING SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK. THE FINAL PENNIES AND POUNDS OF FOOD ARE STILL BEING COUNTED, BUT HERE ARE THE UNOFFICIAL TOTALS. YOU DONATED 3,000 POUNDS OF FOOD, ALONG WITH NEARLY $29,000, WHICH INCLUDES A $10,000 MATCH FROM THE BUDD GROUP. THIS IS ENOUGH FOR SECOND HARVEST TO PROVIDE MORE THAN 175,000 MEALS. WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE AND AUDREY, I KNOW YOU WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE LOWES FOODS, RIGHT? OH MY GOSH, THE LOWES FOODS DONATED AN $81,000 CHECK TO SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK. SO THAT’S SEPARATE. IN ADDITION TO WHAT WE JUST TOLD YOU ABOUT TO THAT WE WERE ABLE TO HELP RAISE. SO JUST REALLY INCREDIBLE TO WHAT SECOND HARVEST CAN DO WITH ALL OF THOSE FUNDS. SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR TAKING PART. EVERYONE, AND WE’LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN OUR NEXT FOOD DRIVE IS. I HEAR IT’S VIRTUAL AT THE END OF THIS MONTH. OH, OKAY. I’LL BE A NICE ONE TO AT HOME. YEAH.
