KCII Radio’s 12th Annual KCII Caring Christmas food drive is underway and the station is hoping to fill the Big Red Radio with non-perishable food and toiletry items for area food banks. KCII general manager Joe Nichols explains the donations are usually dispersed in January to help area pantries restock their shelves after the holidays and start the year on the right food. Donations can be dropped off at participating businesses, the KCII station, or anytime you see the Big Red Radio.

The food drive will be held through the end of December and pre-bagged food donations are available at the Washington Hy-Vee and Washington Walmart.
