“Operation Feed Our Families” A Success

12/12/2008
LOS ANGELES – KFI AM radio and Fox 11 teamed up with The Salvation Army in support of their “Operation Feed Our Families” campaign, a fundraiser and food drive that raised more than $120,000 and 45,000 pounds of food.

The “Operation Feed Our Families” campaign was launched in an effort to replenish The Salvation Army’s Southern California food pantries following a 50 percent boost in food requests by financially struggling families and a declining amount of donations during the country’s recession.

On Dec. 9, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., monetary and food donations were accepted in person at Ayres Hotel in Anaheim and The Americana at Brand in Glendale, as well as online, by phone, and by mail.

KFI Fundraisers For The Amanda Foundation

12/12/2008
LOS ANGELES – KFI AM radio honored the life of their long-time chief engineer John Paoli who passed away Oct. 19 by donating money to The Amanda Foundation, a nonprofit dog and cat rescue organization.

“He was an animal lover and had asked that all donations be made in his name to The Amanda Rescue Foundation,” KFI’s Brett Rateaver said of Paoli.

Along with the funds raised, KFI sponsor Scooble.com donated $1,250 worth of Canidae All Natural Pet Foods to the organization.

“Scooble.com helps pet owners find the best products and services for their pets. We feel rescued animals deserve the best too,” said Scooble.com’s Rob Chell. “We’re proud to contribute to The Amanda Foundation.”

Since its 1976 inception, the Foundation has rescued thousands of Los Angeles County animals from being destroyed. All animals acquired by the organization are provided medical treatment, vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered, as well as receive training if necessary.
