WESH 2’s 38th Annual Share Your Christmas kicked off with the annual Giving Tuesday Telethon on Tuesday, November 28, 2023. Thanks to a generous gift of $25,000 from Wells Fargo and $30,000 from Mullinax Ford, over $344,000 was raised in a single day!
Of course, our incredible Central Florida community did not stop there with their generosity. The following week for the first time ever! - WESH 2 broadcasted live all day on Friday, December 8th across different Central Florida counties, encouraging our neighbors to drop off food or funds to help those in our community who are facing hunger. Overall, an additional $200,000+ and over 54,000 pounds of food were collected throughout the week of Share Your Christmas. That brought our total up to over 2.2 million meals that were raised for children, families, and seniors in Central Florida! Thank you to everyone who donated so selflessly.
Second Harvest Food Bank is so grateful to the team at WESH 2 for their tireless efforts to educate our community on the issue of hunger in our community, and for inspiring everyone to share their Christmas!
