The cable service invited Facebook users to take action that helped stock the Bountiful Backpack program and local food shelves Friday.
Farmington area Facebook users did a lot of "liking" and "sharing" last weekend, and on Friday, it all paid off. The City of Farmington Hills after school program benefitted from Bright House Networks 12 Days of Giving, which offered donations equal to the number of times certain photos were shared on the social media site.
