Tomorrow — Saturday, Dec. 6, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. — WGIL, FM95, KFM, The Laser and Z106.1 need your help to fill the big brown UPS trucks outside both Hy-Vee stores, Walmart in Galesburg, and Hi-Lo in Abingdon.
In this episode of Galesburg's Morning News, FISH of Galesburg Executive Director Katherine Seguino explains why the second drive is so critical: demand is still surging (now serving over 900 families and 2,200+ individuals, up another 20-30% in recent months).
She recaps the incredible Nov. 8 haul — more than 3,000 pounds of food and $4,500 in cash — shares the current most-needed items (holiday staples, easy-open meals for the unhoused, cereal, canned fruits & veggies), and reminds everyone why a cash donation goes five times farther than a can for can.
Come see us tomorrow, Dec. 6 — every donation, big or small, keeps a Knox County neighbor fed.
