Thanksgiving is right around the corner. It's literally a week away. We're kicking off the Wolf Jam the Van today at Shoprite in Kingston, today from 3pm to 5pm.

While we sit and talk about what we'll be eating on Thanksgiving, others will be trying to figure out how to put a meal on the table. Here at The Wolf we want to help those in our community that are having a hard time. We've teamed up with The Food Bank of the Hudson Valley to do just that. We'll be out all weekend collecting canned and non perishable food items at five different Shoprite locations in the Hudson Valley including, Poughkeepsie, Monitcello, Kingston, New Paltz and Fishkill.

Come on down to the Kingston Shoprite today, say hi and make a donation. I'll be there from 3pm-5pm. If you can't make it today, CJ and I will be hanging out on Saturday from 10am to 1pm in Kingston.

Unfortunately, the Food Bank cannot distribute baby food and formula. Glass and perishable donations are appreciated, but discouraged. Here's a list of preferred donations that the Food Bank of The Hudson Valley is looking for:
