Please join Channel 3 Eyewitness News on Wednesday, December 5, 2007 for our community’s largest televised food drive to benefit the Chattanooga Area Food Bank.
For the past 22 years, Channel 3’s Eyewitness News Team has conducted the community’s largest televised food drive, Share Your Christmas. In 2006, more than 130,000 tons of food were collected and donated to the Chattanooga Area Food Bank for their Emergency Food Box Assistance program. Last year, the Chattanooga Area Food Bank provided non-perishable foods for more than 25,000 families in the 22 Counties they serve.
For the 10th year, the Scenic City Volks Folks will gather and drive through the drop off point as a group.
OUR PLANS HAVE CHANGED! Channel 3 called and said that they need us to come at 5:00 PM instead of 6! This year they are only going to be going live to the First Tennessee Pavilion at 5:00 and 5:10, then again at 6:00 and 6:10. The Harley group said they had to have the 6:00 and 6:10 slots . . . they outnumber us about 16 Gazillion to 12, so they got their way. :x I know that's gonn'a make it tough or impossible for some of us to make it, but as Walter Cronkite used to say, "That's the way it is." Try to be there and meet up on the street down from the Pavilion and we'll pull in together just before 5:00. If you can't make it to pull in with the group, get there as soon as you can after 5:00 and drive on in. We'll probably be in the pavilion for about 15 minutes.
We need as many VW owners as possible to participate! Please gather up some non-perishable food items (and decorate your VW if you wish) and join us to support this very worthy cause! You might even end up on TV!
