In March 2020, the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank distributed more than one million pounds of food compared to March 2019. As a part of their Stay Connected campaign, Entercom featured the Giant Eagle Feed the Need Radiothon on Tuesday, April 14th, to fund 100,000 additional meals. The broadcast was highlighted with hourly interviews and updates focused on their fundraising efforts to support those in need.
