Food donations will be accepted to benefit the local community. Donations should be child-friendly, nonperishable and not require a can opener or scissors to open. Examples include instant oatmeal, small boxes of cereal, granola bars, beef sticks, microwaveable macaroni and cheese, mini bottled water and juice boxes.
WQSU-FM 88.9 will air the service live beginning at 7:15 p.m. and will rebroadcast it at 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve. The radio station can also be streamed at wqsu.com or from an Alexa or Google Nest device.
