Food Drive
The Paul & Young Ron Show hold a yearly food drive around Christmas to benefit the Daily Bread Food Bank. They broadcast for 13 hours straight and feature local and national celebrities on the show, who sometimes make donations of their own. Listeners call in pledging money to the food bank, which is translated into pounds of food, approximately 9 pounds of food per dollar donated.

Famous quotes containing the words food and/or drive:
“One farmer says to me, “You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;” and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Why should I let the toad work
Squat on my life?
Can’t I use my wit as a pitchfork
And drive the brute off?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
