     WEFT 90.1FM Radio Food Drive

• Let’s bring our community together as WEFT 90.1FM and the Eastern Illinois Foodbank collaborate for the 4th Annual Radio Food Drive.  Donations can be made online or by sending in your contribution to WEFT, PO Box 1223 , Champaign, IL  61824-1223.  For every $10 donated to the station, WEFT will donate $1 to the Foodbank.  The Foodbank will then purchase up to $10 worth of food for families in need through its network of wholesale food distributors.

• Each month, the Foodbank serves 46,000 clients in a 14-county region.  Many people find themselves having to make choices between paying for food, housing, medication or fuel.  Those in need are our friends, relatives, or neighbors, and far too many are children.  If you can afford to give a little more during these difficult times, know that your generosity helps to serve others in need.

• Help WEFT 90.1FM make a difference in our community, as we celebrate 30 years of service, broadcasting throughout East Central Illinois.  Faces of Hunger | Eastern Illinois Foodbank

      The WEFT Blend Coffees and Teas

• Coffee is available in 12 ounce bags either whole bean or ground in regular or decaffeinated, for $10 per bag. Three types of tea are available in 4 ounce bags, @ $8 per bag. We have chosen a medium roast blend coffee that comes from four growing regions in the world to create a coffee with a complex and unparalleled flavor.
