The event is called "The Food Harvest" and is a community event. The main sponsor is KRZK,KOMC Hometown Radio, with numerous local businesses also supporting the cause. The Food Harvest is in its 23rd year.
Keller Williams Tri-Lakes Realty and the Crispin Team were part of the Food Harvest community event.
The day before Thanksgiving is known as a huge grocery shopping day in the United States.
In Branson, The Tri-Lakes Board of Realtors assist with the Food Harvest by providing shoppers with lists of items needed for the food pantry. Realtors across the area provided the grocery lists at participating grocery stores and Wal-Mart stores. The grocery bags of donations are accepted as the shoppers leave the store, then loaded onto trucks for delivery to the food pantries. Cash donations were also accepted, as well as food donations. Food and cash donations are continuing to be accepted after the community event.
Branson is a tourist mecca, with 8 million visitors per year. Christmas in the Ozarks ends in late December, as the last of the tourist season. There are many seasonal workers in the Branson area that are employed in the hotels, restaurants and theaters. The local food pantries provide much needed assistance to the seasonal workers from mid-December to mid-March.
The Food Harvest benefits the food pantries at Christian Associates,Christian Action Ministries and the Salvation Army.
