Today the Big Red Radio is meeting Santa at its second stop of the week for KCII’s 12th Annual Caring Christmas Food Drive. Community 1st Credit Union in Washington is hosting the visitor from the North Pole and the Big Red Radio from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

KCII’s goal is to fill the Big Red Radio with items and the food drive is accepting non-perishable items including canned food and toiletry products. Once the food drive is finished at the end of the month, all of the items collected will be taken to local pantries across the KCII listening area. KCII General Manger Joe Nichols explains this helps restock the shelves after the holidays so the pantries can start the year off with items for those they help.
