The 15th Annual KCII Caring Christmas Food Drive is officially underway.

The KCII Big Red Radio’s first stop of the season is Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon at Lending Hands Adult Day Center in Washington. The goal is to fill up the Big Red Radio with non-perishable food and toiletry items to help restock the shelves of food pantries across southeast Iowa in January. Pre-bagged items can be purchased at your Washington Hy-Vee. Donations can be dropped off Thursday at the Big Red Radio.
