14.5 percent of U.S. households - 49 million Americans - struggle to put food on the table. Of that 49 million, 15.9 million are children.

The Broome County Humane Society is hosting a really fun event this Saturday called Woofstock to raise money for the shelter.

People in the Binghamton community are coming together to help raise money for the family of Scott Wright Jr., the 19 year old who was innocently shot and killed July 4th at Town and Country Apartments in Binghamton.

12-year-old Alexis Green of Windsor is a young lady leaving her mark on the lives of many by going above and beyond to make a difference in our community and her efforts definitely haven't gone unnoticed.

In the words of one of our favorites here at The Hawk, Mr. Brad Paisley, “If there’s anyone who still has pride in the memory of those that died defending the old red, white and blue, this is country music and we do.”

Gallagher's Irish Pub is part of 98.1 the Hawk's Cruisin' Pallooza this Saturday at the Broome County Fairgrounds in Whitney Point. They are also involved with Wendy's Walk For Kids tonight.

If you love yoga, running, wearing costumes and want to support local handicapped kids, the Yoga and Toga 5K and Fun Fest is screaming you name!

Want a night off from cooking dinner?  Tonight would be a great night to do so and you're helping out a wonderful cause.

Sadly for me, my landlord has put his foot down and won’t allow his tenants to have pets anymore, no matter how many times I give him the puppy dog look. I can’t even tell you how much I’d love to get a dog, but since I can’t have one right now, the next best thing is to help out the Broome County Dog Shelter!

It's Friday and you don't feel like cooking today (or tonight.)  Let Wendy's Walk for Kids come to the rescue. You don't have to cook, you're helping a great cause and it's really good food.

SUNY Broome is preparing for a very special couple of days that raises money for the American Cancer Society.  Relay For Life is the biggest fundraising event in the country and hits the Binghamton campus Friday evening at 6, wrapping up Saturday morning around 10:00.

This Friday, it's a Relay for Life event at Broome Community College. If you're looking for a team to support, then B-Sen Corey Cowick has come to the rescue.

My heart sank this morning when I read that Stephen Sutton lost his life to cancer. Stephen was an inspiring young man and a true hero.

Last year, 900 volunteers participated in the Day of Caring event and logged over 3,600 volunteer hours with a value of $103,428 for our community.
