CBC Thunder Bay held a morning of giving on Friday, Dec. 8 at the Thunder Bay International Airport. Residents came together to raise money, donations — and awareness — for people facing hunger in our community.

Superior Morning host Mary-Jean Cormier lead a special broadcast with live music, interviews and stories that highlight the need in the north. You can find the show on CBC Listen.

There was also a special edition of Up North with Jonathan Pinto from 4 to 6:00p.m. Thank you to all who participated in this year's campaign.
