Popular local radio personalities from 103.7 The River have been broadcasting live since yesterday and will continue to through tomorrow evening at the Kroger at 11895 West Broad Street, across from Short Pump Town Center. The broadcasts are part of Cox Media Group-Richmond’s month long food drive called Feed Richmond, benefitting the Central Virginia Food Bank.

River hosts including long-time Richmond favorite Melissa Chase, along with Begley and Twitch, are encouraging Richmonders to come by and show their support for the Food Bank. There will be prize giveaways, music, and the opportunity to donate food and funds. Last year, Feed Richmond collected about 200,000 meals for the Food Bank.

Customers were enthusiastically giving monetary and canned good donations yesterday during our afternoon visit to the River’s set-up.

 “The Central Virginia Food Bank is desperately in need of help, especially this time of year,” said CMG Richmond VP/General Manager Bob Willoughby. “CMG Richmond, along with our community partners, feels privileged to be able to help Feed Richmond for the 4th year in a row.”
