Every dollar donated to WDIY during this year's Spring Membership Drive will help provide meals to those in need in the Lehigh Valley. For every $100 WDIY receives in donations, Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley will provide 15 meals to individuals and families in our community. WDIY has partnered with Valley National Financial Advisors to cover the costs of the meals, allowing 100% of WDIY member donation to stay with the station.
Second Harvest’s network of agencies which receive meals include food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, childcare facilities, and rehabilitation facilities. In addition to non-perishable goods, Second Harvest has begun providing fresh produce as well. The organization employs refrigeration units at its Nazareth facilities as well as refrigeration trucks to deliver fruits and vegetables.
Membership donations can be made to WDIY's 2024 Spring Membership Drive here.
WDIY's 2024 Spring Membership Drive began on-air on Monday, April 1 after running a pre-drive "Buy-Back Campaign" online and through the mail.
In the fall of 2023, WDIY held the same partnership, with member donations resulting in Second Harvest delivering 6,227 meals to those in need in our community.
