The annual Charlie Abowd Memorial Turkey and Food Drive takes place Nov. 2 through 27, continuing Charlie’s lifelong passion of ensuring those experiencing food insecurity, would have a good Thanksgiving.
The drive is sponsored by KNVC 95.1 FM, Carson City Community Radio located in the basement of the Brewery Arts Performance Hall, 511 W. King St. said KNVC General Manager Steve Funk.
Whole turkeys, chickens, dry and canned goods can be dropped off 24/7 at the BAC Campus outside of the Church, in which KVNC is now located!
