WTOC Day of Giving at Kroger on Mall Blvd.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - WTOC teamed up with America’s Second Harvest to make sure families have food on the table this winter.

On the annual Day of Giving, WTOC was out at the Kroger on Mall Boulevard to collect those donations.

People showed up bright and early Thursday...

“Wooh! There ya go!”

...to help people, they don’t even know.

“God bless you all.”

And they didn’t stop.

“And the giving has really been non-stop this morning, we’ve got boxes and boxes full of food.”

From cans of soup to other non-perishables. We had a blast, watching our community come-together.

“WOO!”

“We appreciate that! Both of them.”

“Yup!”

At the end of the night, when the hundreds of pounds of food were loaded onto trucks... it was clear.

Not only can you make a difference, you did. And there’s still time to do more.

“If you can, donate a little something to Second Harvest.”

And to all of you who already have chipped-in...

“Thank you, have a great Thanksgiving.”

The need is so great this year. Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia says their shelves have never been this empty heading into the Thanksgiving holiday which is just one week away.

That is why the non-perishable canned items are so important because they can get stock up on those and keep them long term to help.
