By the end of a full day of live broadcasts from the NDG Food Depot, CBC Montreal's Christmas Sing-In charity drive had brought in more than $35,000 for the non-profit organization.
That's a record-breaking amount, even beating out last year's unsurpassed total of $30,516.70.
The depot, which has been serving the community since 1986, is a non-profit organization that distributes food to thousands of families in NDG, Westmount and Montreal West.
