The event, which is part of the station’s corporate social responsibility to the underprivileged in society, will have over thousands of porters and other vulnerable groups in the society being feted, clothed and given medical care.
Several bales of clothe as well as food items, toiletries and medicine have been donated by listeners of Joy FM and philanthropists to make the event a success.
