After 12 hours on air, 93.5 Moose FM Haliburton’s annual Christmas Radiothon raised $49,200 for county food banks. The money will be split proportionately between the food banks in Minden, Haliburton, Wilberforce, and Cardiff. Jean Munroe, executive director of Minden Community Food Centre, says she is “proud to be a part of this amazing community.” “I’m thrilled with how today went at Moose FM 93.5. As a team, we worked together to answer phones and greet donors who came down to the radio station,” says Munroe. Tina Jackson, executive director of Central Food Network, says the Highlands has once again “shown its heart and stepped up” to make a difference. “Your generosity and kindness will spread throughout the Highlands to help the individuals and families who rely on our services,” says Jackson. According to Food Banks Canada, in March 2024, there were over 2 million visits to food banks in Canada, the highest number in history. This represents a 6 per cent increase compared to 2023 and a 90 per cent increase compared to 2019. “Thank you for standing with us in the fight against hunger. Together, we feed Haliburton County,” says Jackson.
