Less than a week remains to support Sounds of the Season, CBC Toronto's annual charity drive for local food banks.

The drive has raised $505,000 and 20,553 pounds of food so far. It began on Dec. 4 with a day of live television, radio and music, raising $310,000 on that day alone.

The kick-off saw​ thousands arrive at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre — some as early as 3 a.m. — to ensure they got a seat to see the special live programming.

Hundreds also brought food donations along with them, totaling 15,190 pounds by the end of the day. 

Last year, Sounds of the Season raised more than $600,000 and collected 40,000 pounds of food.

CBC hopes to top those figures this year with plans to collect donations and food until Dec. 31.
