Community Food Drive

WGIL, FM95, KFM, and The Laser alongside community volunteers are teaming up with UPS to fill four of their ‘big brown trucks’ with non-perishable food donations to help our neighbors who are struggling to put food on their table. Saturday, November 16th, from 8am to 4pm, we’ll be outside Fareway in Monmouth collecting donations for the First Christian Church food pantry in Monmouth. You’ll also find us at both Hy-Vee  locations and the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Galesburg collecting donations for the FISH Food Pantry, which serves all of Knox County.

Community leaders and volunteers from local businesses will also help collect food donations at the Galesburg locations including:

• Mark & Tricia Thomas with Watson Thomas Funeral Home
• Bailey Connor, Ellie DeVena, and Lindsay Wooldridge with Tompkins State Bank
• Galesburg City Councilman Steve Cheesman
• Rick Sandoval with Yemm Auto
• State Representative Dan Swanson
• Prairie Moon Farm

Whether it’s one can, a cart-full, or a cash donation, we hope you can lend a helping hand to your neighbors by donating during the Community Food Drive this Saturday with UPS and all of us at the WGIL, FM95, KFM, and The Laser!
