WKTY Cares Supports Hunger Task Force

Food Drive Fridays return this July to rally the community to support Hunger Task Force of La Crosse, the area’s only free and local food bank. Inspired by the original 2020 initiative, this year’s event continues the tradition of neighbors helping neighbors.

Taking place on July 11, 18, and 24, Food Drive Fridays is a critical effort helps stock shelves and supports their 128 recipient food programs during a time when donations are dangerously low—especially in a time that need continues to grow. 

Thanks to our sponsors, Performance Foods and Kratt Lumber, WKTY Cares was able to donate $500 to support Hunger Task Force of La Crosse in the fight against hunger! If you’re able to make a financial donation as well, you can do so at any of the Food Drive Friday events or online HERE.

Non-perishable foods are running dangerously low at The Hunger Task Force. They are in desperate need of canned goods for the programs they serve. Canned items needed include:
– canned meats (tuna, chicken)
– peanut butter, soup
– fruit
– boxed side dishes (stuffing, rice, potatoes)
– breakfast items (cereal, oatmeal, etc)
– canned Ravioli & Spaghettio’s
– pasta & pasta sauce

Donation drop-off locations:
 Hy-Vee La Crosse parking lot
 Old K-mart parking lot
 Collection hours: 11:00 am – 6:00 pm

Whether it’s a can of soup or a box of cereal, your donation helps feed families, children, and seniors in need—right here at home.

Drive through, drop off, and make a difference. Every can and every dollar counts!
