The KCII Big Red Radio will be in Washington Thursday for the next stop on the 15th annual KCII Caring Christmas Food Drive.

Visit the KCII Big Red Radio at Hospice Compassus from 10 a.m. to noon. The goal is to fill the Big Red Radio with donations, which will then be taken to area food pantries in January to help restock their shelves after the busy holiday season. KCII general manager Joe Nichols shares non-perishable food and toiletry items are accepted, like toothpaste or deodorant. You can donate items at KCII Radio, at participating businesses, or any time you see the Big Red Radio out in the community this holiday season. Also, pre-bagged items can be purchased at Washington’s Hy-Vee.
