The 19th Annual Mount Washington Radio/Vaughan Community Services “Food” Drive was a HUGE SUCCESS!

The Mount Washington Radio/Vaughan Community Services Annual Food Drive showcased what living in the Mount Washington Valley is all about – community, goodwill, and service.

Once again it was held at the First Church of Christ in North Conway, for a one-day, 12-hour event that helped collect donations for area food pantries benefiting those in need during the holiday season, as well as throughout the year. Many different pantries in the Greater Mount Washington Valley will see these donations from the drive helping those less fortunate in their communities.

Due to COVID-19, we could not accept any food or turkey donations, but that did not stop this community from coming together and donating CASH and CHECK Donations.Our grand total at the end of our day yesterday was $23,255.00.

Vaughan is currently working with all the Local Food Pantries to be able to get their food through donation and being able to buy food from the New Hampshire Food Bank.

The money can go up to two or three times further for them when they buy food from the Food Bank and it will keep our communities SAFE.

WMWV broadcasted LIVE the entire day with a ton of help from our sponsors!

Special Thanks to ALL of our sponsors this year – who answered the call of those in this community that are in need.

Make sure you visit and shop with them this Holiday Season!
