Wish List

We're not just a groovadelic radio station. We're a small business that goes through office supplies and consumables just like you do. These things cost money, and that has to be raised on the air during pledge drives. By donating some of these materials to WPKN, you will not only save us money, but you will help increase programming time by reducing the on-air fundraising. We can always use
  • Printer paper
  • Ink and toner cartridges
  • Mailing supplies (especially padded mailers)
  • Blank CDs
  • Fluorescent light tubes
Please call the station at (203) 331-9756, or email us at wpknpress-supplies@yahoo.com for specific details if you are interested in helping us with any of these supplies.
