KCII’s 19th annual Caring Christmas Food Drive is off to a jolly start following the inaugural Day of Giving Radiothon Wednesday.

Across seven hours KCII featured live on-air interviews with those who help support the drive and interviews with organizers from pantries located in and around Washington County that annually receive food and monetary donations. Listeners called in with pledges, and KCII also broadcasted live from the Washington Hy-Vee from 2:30-5 p.m. The Caring Christmas Food Drive lasts through December, with residents able to donate by clicking on the Big Red Button at kciiradio.com, scanning a QR code table topper at one of our participating businesses, or dropping off goods at the Big Red Radio or the KCII Studios in Washington. A second Day of Giving Radiothon is scheduled for December 15th.
