This past Thursday (10/10), Krol Communication's WHMI-FM (Howell), in partnership with American Legion Devereaux Post 141 held a day long Hurricane Relief Drive to benefit those impacted by Hurricane Helene.  The drive, hosted by WHMI Morning Show hosts Chuck Edwards & Madison June on Thursday took place live at the Legion post from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The relief effort is to support those who are in desperate need of basic necessities including but not limited to: blankets, hygiene products, diapers (child & adult) water, non-perishable food items and more.  There were even donations of generators!

All-in-all, there were more than 500 individual donors with an estimated $200k worth of donated items, enough to fill two 26' box trucks fully loaded!  In addition, there was another $8k in monetary donations toward recovery efforts.

WHMI morning show host Chuck Edwards commenting: “Madison and I feel compelled to help our fellow Americans in this dire, heartbreaking circumstance. We know the people who listen feel the same way."

A later post on the station's website summed it up: "Unbelievable turnout for our very first WHMI Cares Radiothon! 12 hours on the air...live and local! This is the power of of our community. We are stronger together! Sending love from Livingston County to the Hurricane Helene victims. Thank YOU The trucks leave tomorrow!!
