This year's Holiday Food Harvest, a day set aside by the Ozarks Dynacom family of radio stations at the Tri-Lakes Board of Realtors to collect food items and money for local food pantries, was deemed a tremendous success.
Local realtors were stationed at nine area groceries stores in Branson, Hollister, Forsyth, Kimberling City and Branson West, on the day before Thanksgiving, in an effort to collect needed items and funds to be donated to Christian Action Ministries and the Salvation Army.
This year marked the 19th year that the two entities joined forces for the Holiday Food Harvest.
According to reports, a total of 9,422 pounds of food was collected—nearly three times what was collected in 2023.
As for cash donations, the combination of what was collected at the area donation sites and contributions made by the realtors, was nearly equal to last year's cash collections.
The Tri-Lakes Board of Realtors and Ozarks Dynacom extend their thanks to the stores that served as collection sites for this year's event, as well as each person who donated to help those in need in the community.
Donations received will help the two nonprofit organizations stock their food pantries for the Christmas holiday and upcoming winter months.
