Grind Out Hunger, KDON 102.5 and Safeway on 41st Ave raise 2000lbs

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Grind Out Hunger slid into 41st Ave Safeway and teamed up with KDON 102.5 to make some Holiday Magic Happen. We packed 300 pre-made bags for Holiday dinners and we sold a bunch of them!! Almost 2000lbs raised in one evening, every little bit helps. Special Thanks to Safeway 41st Ave, KDON 102.5,  Zane, Cole, Bly, Omar, Mia and Xavier for packing bags, Brian Russ of the Boy Scouts, the tireless door greeters that spread the word about Second Harvest, the kids that came out to support, the wonderful lady that purchased a Grind Out Hunger Skateboard, the dedicated skate family and cookies, the Safeway customers that dug down deep and donated even in these tough times and of course my trusty sidekick Bly from Second Harvest Food Bank.  Shoot…even Willy came out fully decked in Santa Clause regal to pick up the 20 odd full barrels of food. Enjoy the photo’s and lets raise this 100,000lbs!!!

Grind Out Hunger, KDON 102.5 and Safeway on 41st collaborate December 5th

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Lets keep this train moving!! This Holiday season is going to be a challenge for people more than ever. With over 60,000 people a month needing help in Santa Cruz County, I am personally issuing a challenge to see how much food we can raise on December 5th at the Safeway on 41st Ave in Santa Cruz from 4pm to 8pm with 102.5 KDON. If everyone I know just brings 10lbs we can raise thousands of pounds of food for people that really need it. Please spread the word and get everyone you know to visit us from 4pm to 8pm Saturday December 5th at the Safeway 2720 41st Street Soquel, CA 95073 bring non-perishable food or money (every dollar donated allows Second Harvest to purchase $9 worth of food) as we do a LIVE broadcast with 102.5 KDON. I want to thank KDON 102.5 for donating the broadcast (Sam Diggedy and Rhonda rock!) Safeway for succumbing to my endless requests to do this food drive and my trusty partner in crime Bly Morales for dealing with my insane ideas and actually helping them come to reality.  If you cannot make it down to our event and join our Live broadcast then you can donate online HERE . Make sure you join KDON 102.5 The Morning Madhouse fan page support Safeway and Santa Cruz Skate and Surf Shop
