Thanksgiving weekend is right around the corner and KiSS 105.3 wants to make sure that everyone in our community has a warm meal this holiday weekend.  Join us in collecting turkeys for the Ottawa Mission as part of the KiSS 105.3 Turkey Drop at 2001 Thurston Drive!

We are asking that you help us raise as many turkeys as we can so that all 2800 plates of Thanksgiving dinner at the Ottawa Mission include turkey. You can drop off a turkey at 2001 Thurston Drive Thursday, September 29 between 6:30am-5:00pm and Friday, September 30, 2016 between 6:30am-3:00pm and we will deliver them all to the Ottawa Mission in time for Thanksgiving dinner!
