FRESNO, CA – October 3, 2022 – Cumulus Media’s NewsTalk 580/105.9 KMJ in Fresno recently teamed with local agriculture company Gar Bennett to raise money for the Central California Food Bank through the 2022 Feeding Families Fund Drive. KMJ listeners came through with amazing generosity. Gar Bennett Inc. matched every donation with 50 cents on the dollar for a grand total of $656,000 raised to fight hunger in the Central Valley. Fellow sponsors Farm Credit and Amazon also pitched in with large donations at the day-long event held on Friday, September 23^rd, at The Market in Northwest Fresno. The funds will help the Central Valley’s less fortunate residents by providing more than four million meals.
