Amateur radio donation impacts local food center during time of need

- Submitted

For the 17th year in a row, Portage County Amateur Radio Service (PCARS) has raised funds for the local food program, the Center of Hope, a program of Family & Community Services (FCS).

This year, their contribution has made an especially large impact, as the center faces struggles with rising food costs and increased need. The donation, which totaled $10,870, will be used to help with the center’s distribution that provides toys and food for Ravenna families this holiday season.
