COOL listeners help stock shelves at Inn food bank

Over 10,400 pounds of food was collected at Home Depot over the weekend.

It was the annual COOL 106.3 Food Drive for the Inn of the Good Shepherd.

Since it's inception, the annual collection effort brought in over 126,000 pounds of food for the local food bank.

Inn Executive Director Myles Vanni said $11,235 was also raised on Friday.

Vanni said on average, the Inn needs about 65,000 pounds of food a month to help those in need.

Earlier this month, Blackburn Media's 99.9 the Fox held its Family to Family donation drive collecting non-traditional items such as cleaning supplies and hygiene products.
