HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Our 31st annual Project Concern was a blessing again, and we are so thankful for all of our outstanding listeners who really helped us. November the 4th, we launched Project Concern and our deadline was 10:00 Monday morning. Because of your generosity, we were able to raise an incredible amount of money again.

Monday morning during the morning show from 8:30 a.m. until 10:00 a.m., Glen Grunwald and Sue Achilles put on the infamous turkey outfits and we raised almost $3,000 in a 90-minute time period, which brought our total this year to $11,643. 

What does that mean? Well, we are going to give Dillons a check for $8,733. They, in turn, are giving us an additional $2,000 in gift cards, so the buying power there is around $11,000 that will be turned over to the Salvation Army for people to be able to pick those certificates up on Tuesday and Wednesday.

We will write a check to the Friendship Meals for $1,455 and the Christian Soup Ministry for $1,455. Major Paul James said that 752 families applied and were screened by the Salvation Army to get assistance. That equates to about 2,635 people.
