KNIA/KRLS Radio is highlighting area food shelves and the need related to local hunger during the holiday season. The station is once again putting together special programs to encourage donations through Food Drive Fridays, starting November 14th. The weekly special edition news magazines will air at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. every Friday, and at 6 p.m. again on nights without high school basketball or special Christmas music programs on KNIA/KRLS. Additionally, the KNIA/KRLS Big Red Radio will make stops at several community locations to further encourage donations to local food shelves and other programs, such as the Food Bank of Iowa. On next week’s program, Annette Hacker with the Food Bank of Iowa discusses the organization that distributes food to pantries in over 50 Iowa Counties. Stay tuned to KNIA/KRLS for Food Drive Fridays this holiday season.
