88.5 WFDD launched its 12th Annual BackPack Campaign on GivingTuesday, and will go live on air for three days, beginning Tuesday, Dec. 8, to count down to its 1,300 backpack goal. This special fund drive not only supports access to fact-based journalism and trustworthy reporting for everyone in the station’s 32-county coverage area, it also helps feed children in the region who are facing food insecurity, thanks to a partnership with Kaplan Early Learning Company and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina. For every gift to 88.5 WFDD, no matter the amount, Kaplan Early Learning Company will fill a backpack of food for a child at risk of hunger, through Second Harvest’s BackPack Program.
