The popular charitable event kicked off on Friday, November 8^th and continued through Monday, November 18^th at Noon at Walmart, 685 Schillinger Road South, Mobile, AL. Station personalities, staff, and sponsors were on hand throughout the event to collect donations of non-perishable food items for Gulf Coast families facing food insecurity.

Throughout the ten-day event, Mojo camped out on a school bus parked in the Walmart parking lot until the station collected enough food items to fill the entire bus. By Noon on Monday, the Mobile community had donated more than 3,000 pounds of food for area families in need this holiday season.

Additional event sponsors included Aaron’s, Prichard Prep, Cricket Sun Com, Dauphin Island Sea Lab, Grayson Air Conditioning, Inc., Corsentino Chiropractic, East Hill Pizza, and Pensacola Air Flight School.

Don Boyd, Regional Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus Mobile and Pensacola, said: “I couldn’t be prouder of Mojo and the entire Cumulus Mobile team for stepping up to meet such an important need in our community. Leveraging the power of our five market-leading radio stations and digital platforms, the team demonstrated the incredible impact we can have when we work together. A special shout-out to Mojo, whose dedication and commitment—camping out on a bus for 10 days—serve as an inspiring example for us all.”

Vincent “Mojo” Wilson, On-Air Host, Middays, 97.5 WABD and Regional Operations Manager, Cumulus Mobile and Pensacola, FL, said: “I have had no sleep and heard every car alarm and parking lot sound that you can imagine, but it was all worth it. I am so grateful to the Gulf Coast community for showing up and giving back to Feeding the Gulf Coast. Special thanks to my co-host and friend Cami for keeping me sane and my onesies clean. My dream of making sure families don’t go hungry started to take shape in the last few days of Camp Out for Hunger. I am going to catch a few days’ rest before we order up our next school bus for December. Yes! We are stuffing another school bus! Details coming soon!”
