Nine of Halifax's finest musicians and bands are teaming up with rock radio station Q104 to strike out against hunger in aid of FEED NS. Morning show host, Bobby Mac, will be in bed at Mic Mac Mall's Center Court, sustained only by water and granola, at the "Q104 Hunger Strike". Hey Rosetta, Charlie A'Court, Mike Trask, Fed Pennies, Dressed 2 Kill and Andrew Hunter will be among the musicians coming out to lend their voice to the cause.
Bobby Mac’s goal is to raise enough food and money to feed 1,004 families. The public is welcome to drop off food or money at MicMac Mall Center Court, or call the Rogers Hunger Hotline (452-2222). Local businesses are also encouraged to gather food or donate money all while challenging other companies to do the same on the days of the event.
The Q104 Hunger Strike involves a two day live broadcast on Q104-FM (104.3 on the FM dial) December 10th and 11th, from 6am – 10pm. Over the two day period, Q104 personalities will crawl into bed with Bobby Mac while accepting non-perishable food items and cash donations from Metro residents at centre court of Mic Mac Mall. Bobby will spend two days at the mall, yes this means sleeping and eating!
Immediately following the broadcast on Friday, all donations will be picked up by the Metro Food Bank and distributed to various families in need.
