Don’t forget, today we will be kicking off the annual Raccoon Valley Radio Caring Christmas Food Drive with a stop at the Perry Fareway.

The Big Red Radio will be broadcasting live from the location from 4-6 p.m., during which time we will be accepting donations of food and money and getting people registered for the $1,000 cash giveaway. Everything collected today will go directly to the Perry Food Pantry to help them keep their shelves stocked during the busy holiday season. There will be several more Caring Christmas stops between now and December 20th, including tomorrow from 10 a.m. – noon at the Winterset Hy-Vee, and Sunday from noon – 2 p.m. at Wild Rose Casino in Jefferson. Everything raised at each location will go to the corresponding city’s food shelf.

Additionally, anyone who donates food or money during the live stops will be an instant qualifier for the $1,000 grand prize. You can also register for the money at any of the sponsor locations throughout the listening area. To learn more about Caring Christmas, listen to this past Wednesday’s Perry Fareway Let’s Talk Dallas County program at RaccoonValleyRadio.com. You can also find a list of collection sites and participating businesses at our website under the Caring Christmas heading.
