The 13th annual KCII Caring Christmas Food Drive continues this week. KCII and participating businesses have been collecting non-perishable food and toiletry items since November to donate to area food pantries. KCII general manager Joe Nichols says the food drive helps restock shelves of food pantries across the KCII-listening area after the busy holidays, so they start the new year off with full shelves to help those in our local communities.

The KCII Big Red Radio will visit the Washington Hy-Vee from 2 to 4 p.m. today and RePurpose It in downtown Washington from 2 to 4 p.m. Wednesday. The goal is to fill the KCII Big Red Radio and donations can be dropped off any time you see it out and about.
