WMIL's Operation Storm Aid, WAXX's Candle Project

A&O clients and friends across Wisconsin are taking action right now:

FM 106.1 and Fox 6 WITI in support of the American Red Cross and America’s Second Harvest of Wisconsin broadcast live at Wisconsin State Fair Park on Tuesday, September 6th from 5am – 10pm and unite in a major effort for hurricane relief.

Listeners are encouraged to drop off monetary donations for the American Red Cross. We also encourage listeners to drop off the following items in support America’s Second Harvest.

The items include:
• bottled water (no individual bottles)
• healthy ready-to-eat snacks
• energy/breakfast bars
• granola bars
• canned soups/chili
• cereal
• diapers
• peanut butter
• paper plates
• paper cups
• plastic eating utensils
• flashlights
• packaged batteries
• paper towels/napkins
• toilet paper

An email today to the FM-106.1 'e-team' database and promos on air call the effort, "Neighbors Uniting. Thank you to all those who are helping Clear Channel and Fox 6 WITI’s with this hurricane relief effort - Wisconsin State Fair, Quad Graphics, WITCO Systems, Great Lakes Packaging Corporation, New Way Pallet, Karl’s Event Rental and Office Depot."

Meanwhile, in west central Wisconsin, WAXX in Eau Claire is also pulling its community together in partnership with the other Maverick Media cluster stations in yet another heart-warming campaign.
