In 2009 Holiday Cheer celebrated 26 years of helping families at-risk for hunger in Lorain County during the holidays. Lorain County residents came through again and raised over $35,000 and help thousands of families at-risk for hunger. Many thanks to Burger King, “Gold Country” WOBL 1320AM, “Kool Kat” Oldies WDLW 1380AM and the many donors who contributed.
Over the years, Holiday Cheer has raised nearly $685,000 to help needy families in Lorain County. Holiday Cheer is sponsored by Burger King, “Gold Country” WOBL 1320AM, “Kool Kat” Oldies WDLW 1380AM and the Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio.
