WZDC Washington DC partnered with EMD Sales and El Tiempo Latino for "Bolsas de Amor", a community initiative that provides needy Washington DC metropolitan area families with food baskets.  Individuals were asked to submit a letter detailing why they are deserving of this program.  On March 5, over 800 Hispanic families were provided a food package.  The Telenoticias Washington team was on-hand to serve and meet families. 

As part of ZGS Communications' continued commitment to our local communities, the ZGS Station Group launched the #yodecido civic engagement campaign.  The goals of the campaign include positioning our station group as leaders in our local communicates, raising or local news and civic profile, and empowering our community this November.

Each station, along with holaciudad.com, features a compelling campaign that focused on informing and educating our viewers, increasing the number of Hispanic registered voters and driving participation at the polls. Partners across our markets include the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), Mi Familia Vota, the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO), AARP, Dominicanos USA, Exa FM 98.3, The Orlando Sentinel, and Ana G. Mendez University among others.  

 

 

Community spirit and willingness to lend a hand is a part of WTMO Orlando's culture and in 2016 their focus is to give back to the community through employee volunteerism. Each quarter the station will choose a different entity to support.  On February 12, the first of volunteer effort took place at The Russell Home for Atypical Children, the only private non-profit facility of its kind for severely disabled children in Central Florida. The station held a canned food drive in the office in the weeks leading up and then delivered those items along with handmade cards, cupcakes and other items to residents.
