Erick Erickson Show Launches Thanksgiving Meal Campaign

“The Erick Erickson Show” has begun its annual Thanksgiving meal campaign with Hungry For A Day inviting listeners nationwide to help put complete holiday dinners on tables for imgfamilies in need. Last year’s drive raised more than $265,000 and this year’s goal is to feed 75,000 people coast to coast. Erickson says, “Last year our listeners put food on the table for thousands of families, and that generosity still moves me. This isn’t about politics; it’s about compassion, faith, and stepping up for our neighbors. We’re launching this year’s Hungry For A Day drive to do it again and with this audience, I know we will. Hungry For A Day makes it seamless; our listeners make it extraordinary.”
