WBBZ-TV, Your Hometown MeTV Station, was honored to partner for the first "Holiday Needs Drop Off Drive" on Sunday, organized by Pastor Steve Biegner and our friends from St. Paul's Evangelical, Parkside in Buffalo, Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Clarence Center, and WNY Church Unleashed. Over $12,000 (with matching funds) in cash and gift cards was raised, along with a truck FULL of food for FeedMore WNY, and the Tiger's Den Food Pantry at St. Paul's on 4007 Main Stree...t in Eggertsville where the drive was held. Thanks to the church volunteers, and Lutheran Youth WNY who safely accepted the donations, and removed food from vehicles to sort and distribute. Some familiar faces from the station took part, including Judge Penny Wolfgang from the "Big Picture" talk show; Kim Piazza from "What's The Buzz in WNY;" GM Chris Musial; and promotion manager program host John Di Sciullo. Apologies that some of our personality photos did not take in the cold, but our hometown video camera was there recording it all for an upcoming holiday station presentation! Hundreds of people, including members of the congregations, and viewers of the 10am Sunday Service that airs on WBBZ-TV, safely drove through with their generous gifts. The need is greater this year than ever before. On behalf of everyone involved, Thank You!
