Each year, the WPDH morning show broadcasts live at a gas station with the hope listeners will drop off non-perishable food items or cash donations. All donations go to the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley and the families they help throughout the area.

This year the WPDH morning show will be at the Shell Express Foam & Wash on Route 9 in Poughkeepsie across from the Poughkeepsie Galleria.

As an added incentive, all who donate will be entered to win a $500 gift card.
