Radio station to collect peanut butter at parade

November 18, 2009 @ 12:00 AM

ASHLAND -- People who attend Ashland's "I'll Be Home for Christmas" parade are encouraged to bring with them a jar of peanut butter to help feed the needy.

People with Magic 97.9 FM radio will walk alongside the Magic van in the parade, collecting the peanut butter from the crowd. The peanut butter will be taken to River Cities Harvest, a local charity that helps feed those in need through the collection and distribution of perishable and non-perishable food items.

River Cities Harvest will distribute the peanut butter to area food pantries. Peanut butter donations also can be dropped off in Huntington at the Magic office located at 919 5th Ave., Suite 210, or at the River Cities Harvest suite in The Neighborhood, 2516 Carter Ave., Ashland.

For more information about the Parade for Peanut Butter, contact the River Cities Harvest office by phone at 606-324-3663 or by e-mail, rivercitiesharvest@gmail.com.
