You, the KYGO Family, Helped Us Provide Meals to Over 7,500 People in Denver

Nov 14, 2023, 5:08 PM | Updated: 5:08 pm

We called on the KYGO family to help us fill an entire semi-truck trailer full of food for the Food Bank of the Rockies in just three days last week, and the results are in… YOU DID IT! 

From November 8th through the 10th we setup shop at the Highlands Ranch Walmart and asked you to donate food for the nearly one in three Colorado families that face food insecurities. In those three days we saw hundreds of people show to help. Many others jumped online and donated financially. 

Today we received news from the Food Bank of the Rockies that they’d finished processing the trailer, and you helped us to provide 7,520 MEALS!! That’s over 7,000 people who get meals this holiday season thanks to your generosity! 

Thank you on behalf of the entire 98.5 KYGO staff!!
