A national cable network is shining a light on a local charity to help bring in fundraising dollars that will support their cause.
Every year, the Home Shopping Network selects 30 charities for their HSN Cares campaign, featuring each one for a full day in April. On Thursday, their focus will be on The Torch. The Torch is a Fowlerville-based non-profit founded by Sarah Ruddle and Rhonda Callahan that works to get food to people who need it while serving them with dignity and respect. For being selected, The Torch will receive a $1,000 donation and be featured on-air, Thursday, at 7am, noon, 6pm and 11pm. Additionally, HSN will match donations through their Community Giving page for up to $1,000 individually, to a total of $5,000. In a joint statement, the founders said they are humbly grateful for the donation and will use it to continue providing free groceries to people in need across mid-Michigan.
