WDTN-TV kicked off its 33rd annual Food for Friends campaign Wednesday.

The campaign will run through Wednesday, Dec. 24, with corporate sponsors Kroger, Dayton Power & Light Company along with the Utility Workers Union of America.

"WDTN is committed to helping fight hunger and help families in need in the Miami Valley," said Joe Abouzeid, WDTN-TV president and general manager. "It's our mission as a television station to give back and the need is greater than ever."

Since 1982, when WDTN-TV developed the first Food for Friends campaign, more than 13 million food items have been collected and distributed to needy families through The Foodbank of Dayton and other food pantries throughout the region.

Food for Friends barrels will be located in Kroger stores throughout Montgomery, Logan, Preble, Clark, Clinton, Miami, Shelby, Darke, and Greene counties.

Those wishing to donate food can find more information and convenient locations by visiting www.wdtn.com.
