The Annual Food Drive to benefit the three biggest food pantries in the Lakes Region is next week.
Ozarks Dynacom's Holiday Food Harvest presented by the Tri-Lakes Board of Realtors takes place next Wednesday November 23rd at nine grocery stores in Stone and Taney Counties.
Janet Bezzerides from the Tri-Lakes Board of Realtors, during a recent interview on KRZK's "Ozarks Now" program, says that over the 17 years these two organizations have teamed-up, they have collected tons of food and thousands of dollars for area food pantries operated by Christian Action Ministries, Christian Associates, and Salvation Army-Branson. Both organizations had food drive events prior to teaming-up in 2006.

Country Mart in Branson, Forsyth, and Hollister
