How are we already here? i95's Camping for Cans annual food / cash donation drive is back for another year. If you're new here, we will give you a little bit of a rundown. If you've stuck with us through the years, we're so happy you're back to help us for another great year.

Every year, team i95 comes together to broadcast live from a parking lot in the local area for the entire weekend to collect non-perishable food donations and monetary donations on behalf of Hillside Food Outreach. Hillside is a wonderful, local organization that focuses on delivering high-quality, nutritious food to low-income, chronically ill, disabled and those who can't access a traditional food pantry.

Every year, we come together with the help of the local community to raise money and collect food donations for a great cause and it would not be successful without all of you - the best listeners in the world.
