KCCI-TV’s sixth annual Food Bank of Iowa Hunger-Free Holidays daylong telethon on Tuesday, December 2nd raised a record $532,937.73 to help Iowans facing food insecurity.

This translates to 888,230 meals.

The campaign continues on strong and donations will still be accepted through Dec. 31 at hungerfreeholidays.org.

Thanks to a $100,000 donation from Corteva Agriscience, all gifts will be matched up to that amount until Dec. 31.

“At KCCI, we have been humbled over the past six years by the generosity of our viewers toward Food Bank of Iowa,” says Brian Sather, KCCI’s GM.  “I am proud of my colleagues who, through empathy and leadership, distinguish us as Iowa’s News Leader. I encourage our viewers to continue helping in this crucial mission.”

Last year, the month-long Hunger-Free Holidays campaign raised more than $2.7million.

“In a year filled with challenges and uncertainty, one thing is clear: We can count on KCCI and its viewers to provide food and hope for Iowans facing hunger this holiday season,” said Food Bank of Iowa CEO Tami Nielsen. “I’m grateful for this long-term partnership, which makes a difference in the lives of thousands of Iowa families and individuals who need our support now more than ever before.”
