our community.
Rockin' for
the Hungry
This is our largest outdoor canned food drive, held for a week
in the beginning of December. Live broadcasts from ann arbor's
107one FM throughout the event encourage food donations to achieve
our goal of more food for more people. Friendly food drive competitions
between businesses and schools add to the fun, with volunteers
from numerous organizations spreading cheer and the spirit of
giving during the holiday season.
