This year's third annual Camp Out Hunger in the Sam's Club parking lot here in Augusta was another one for the books.
As a Townsquare team, Buzz and I, joined by Matt and Lizzy from the Moose Morning show, lived in campers round the clock for five straight days accepting food and monetary donations for the Capital Region Salvation Army.
As always, like each year before this, it was a surreal experience. So many donations and so many people. Additionally, there were so many incredible stories from people we had never met before.
Not only did an unfathomable amount of Central Mainers come to donate, so so so many had stories a lot similar to my own and how they used to be food insecure and were once in need of the services offered by the Salvation Army. The best part is while they were telling us their stories, they were making donations because they're now in a place to give back. This event constantly comes full circle.
According to Captain Keith Davis from the Salvation Army, we as a community here in Central Maine came together and raised 41,000 pounds of food, which comes with a retail value of $112,000.00! That's $112,000.00, not including our total cash donations of $10,000!
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. We couldn't have done it without YOU!
