Gatorland Partners with WESH 2 for the 34th Annual Share Your Christmas Food Drive

Gatorland®, the “Alligator Capital of the World,” is proud to announce it has partnered again with WESH 2 News for the 34th Annual Share Your Christmas Food Drive benefiting the Second Harvest Food Bank.  On Thursday, Dec. 12, between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m., the public is invited to stop by to drop off their food donations while WESH 2 TV News anchors and Gatorland personalities broadcast live on location and do meet and greets until Gatorland makes its big check presentation to Second Harvest Food Bank live during the noon newscast.

Guests to Gatorland can begin dropping off their food donations at the park any day from November 30th through December 12th, if they are unable to do so on the big day.

Gatorland has partnered with WESH 2 NEWS and the Share Your Christmas campaign since 2014 and since then has collected more than 19,500 pounds of food and donated more than $43,000 to the Second Harvest Food Bank.  The theme park is also partnering with area schools to collect donations. New this year we are challenging area businesses to do their own collections, and bring the food to Gatorland on or before December 12th.
