MACON, Ga. — With the holiday season quickly approaching, some families don't know where they're getting their next meal from.
We need your help to make their holiday season just as special.
WHAT IS 'STUFF THE TRUCK?'
On Wednesday, November 18, we'll be teaming up with the Middle Georgia Community Food Bank to fill three whole semi-trucks full of food items.
We'll be taking on this task by collecting non-perishable food donations at three Walmart locations in Central Georgia.
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
Food insecurity is real for some Central Georgia families, and the 13WMAZ crew wants to help give back to the same community we tell stories about.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
On November 18 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., we want YOU to bring your canned goods and other non-perishable food items to one of the semi-trucks at these Walmart locations:
- Macon - Gray Highway
- Macon - Zebulon Road
- Warner Robins - Watson Boulevard
If you can't make it out to any of the Walmarts, you can donate to the Middle Georgia Community Food Bank online.
This year you can also donate through our United Way phone bank during the event times. That number will be 478-621-7810.
While we want you to donate, we're doing our part too. 13WMAZ and the TEGNA Foundation, part of our parent company, are donating $5,000 to the Middle Georgia Community Food Bank to help stop hunger.
At TEGNA, we are driven by our strong purpose of serving the greater good of our communities. Our values – inclusion, integrity, innovation, impact and results – help us better understand and serve those in need. The Foundation funds nonprofits and programs that promote and celebrate the diversity of the communities we serve.
