On July 19th, 2008, WBCL listeners supported the St. Peter's Sack Lunch Program by donating thousands of items to the Franciscan Center's ministry.
From the staff at the Franciscan Center: "We again cannot thank you enough for this effort. Our Sack Lunch coordinator, Sandy, was overwhelmed by the community support; she is not used to having so much supply on hand!"
