“The response has been tremendous,” said Account Executive Pamela Hall, who began the promotion. “I am overwhelmed at how our local area has given, especially during the pandemic. It feels really good to be a part of something that will benefit those that put their lives on the line each day for our freedom.”
Kindred Communications partnered with Presenting Sponsors Clark’s Pump-N-Shop and Setzer’s World of Camping, along with other area businesses, to coordinate drop off locations where listeners could take donated items.
“This has become an annual event for Kindred Communications and it has grown each year,” said Mike Kirtner, CEO and owner of the company. “We love being able to be involved in the local community, especially to benefit our military. We appreciate the businesses that helped and all those individuals that gave.”
Collected items will be taken to Military Missions in Lexington and then distributed to deployed Military Personnel around the world.
