Television, radio, and newspaper outlets across the Mid-South are coming together for A Day of Giving in support of the Mid-South Food Bank.

 

Together, we’re raising critical funds and collecting donations to help feed families right here at home—especially as the recent government shutdown has affected many households relying on SNAP benefits.

 

Your contribution—big or small—can make an immediate difference.
