Over the past week many of the radio personalities here at Townsquare Media in Binghamton, spent days in an RV in the Weis Market parking lot on Upper Front Street collecting non-perishable food items for the Broome County CHOW program.

I believe it is part of the broadcasters creed to provide a voice in support of efforts that help our community and for several days we asked for your help. Your response was truly overwhelming.

Families, businesses, children, people of all ages came with bags, boxes and even shopping carts filled with food to help our brothers and sisters in this county.

CHOW's estimate was somewhere around 6 tons of food donated! As we loaded the donations on to several trucks Monday morning even the CHOW employees and volunteers were amazed!

I can't even begin to tell you how proud I am to be a part of this community.

To everyone that helped us, from a single donation to several...Thank You!!!
