FRANKLIN — The 33rd annual holiday fundraiser, Mix 94.1fm’s Cash & Cans, raised more than $43,000.

The Mix Morning Team of Fred Caruso and Amy Bates broadcast live from 25 Central New Hampshire businesses during the week of Dec. 6-13, accepting monetary (Cash) and non-perishable (Cans) food donations from listeners to benefit 10 area organizations.

“The most important part of our annual Cash & Cans campaign is 100 percent of what is donated stays local, benefiting our friends and neighbors who may need a helping hand, especially during the holidays,” said Mix program director Fred Caruso, founder of Cash & Cans in 1987.

To date, the project has provided 20,000 nonperishable food items and more than $43,000 in cash, and it’s still coming in, according to Caruso.
