WNZF Food-A-Thon Raises $125,000 for Local Food Bank

David Ayres, Chamber Board Member and President of Flagler Broadcasting, pushed hard to create a community fundraiser that benefits Grace Community Food Pantry. On Friday of last week, the effort led to $125,000 in cash donations, a good portion of which was donated by Chamber members.
