Listener Support
WEFT's SUMMER APPEAL FUNDRAISER!
HELP SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY RADIO STATION: CHAMPAIGN-URBANA'S WEFT 90.1 FM
One of the first things people notice when touring WEFT's studio is the extensive collection of music housed in the Great Hall
Every wall is lined with floor-to-ceiling shelves packed with music CDs that represent years of community-supported programming.
Vintage treasures spanning every genre imaginable make up WEFT's exceptional and irreplaceable archive.
These CDs are more than music; they are part of WEFT's history, a reflection of the diverse voices and sounds that have defined WEFT for decades.
PLEASE DONATE TODAY
As technology changes, however, preserving access to this extraordinary collection presents a new challenge: acquiring and maintaining the equipment needed to play these CDs. That's where YOU can help. Your donation can make a difference. Supporting WEFT helps ensure that this little community radio station can continue to broadcast this vast library to listeners here in East Central Illinois (and the world) for years to come.
Thank you for helping to preserve the music, memories, and community spirit that truly makes WEFT one of a kind!
THANK YOU!
Thanks you to every one of the WEFT supporters, volunteers, listeners, and Community Partners who helps keep WEFT going strong and broadcasting loud and clear!

CARS will schedule the vehicle for pick up by a licensed tow complany at no cost to you. You will be provided a donation receipt at the time of pick up. They evaluate each vehicle with the goal of ensuring that WEFT receives the maximum amount of money possible.
