WEIRS BEACH — The 39th annual Cash & Cans money and food drive for the holidays now through Wednesday, Dec. 12. The fundraiser, started by Mix 94.1 FM’s Fred Caruso in 1987, raises food and money for a number of central New Hampshire charitable organizations, from food pantries to soup kitchens to toys-for-tots programs. Its annual Funspot Token Gift Card Fundraiser will take place at Funspot in Weirs Beach on Sunday, Dec. 7, from noon to 3 p.m.
“This event has raised thousands of dollars the past few years for Cash & Cans and we’re very excited to have Funspot and the Lawton Family involved once again with year’s Cash & Cans campaign. They are always there to support so many community events,” Caruso said.
Caruso will have $10 and $20 Funspot token cards for purchase with the money raised from each sale donated to Cash & Cans.
“It really is a win-win for everyone. Funspot gift cards make great gifts and stocking stuffers and your donation benefits Cash & Cans,” he said.
During the Cash & Cans campaign, Caruso and morning co-host Amy Bates will be accepting monetary and non-perishable food donations with 100% of the proceeds remaining here in central New Hampshire community.
“We live in a wonderful area, neighbors helping neighbors, friends helping friends, people helping people they’ve never even met. That’s what Cash & Cans is all about,” said Caruso.
