The 23rd Annual KRAI Holiday Drive is Dec. 2-3. Volunteers will be at the west entrance of Centennial Mall in Craig, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. both Thursday and Friday, Dec. 2-3, collecting donations and cash. 100% of the donations will go to four local Moffat County nonprofits, and all of the donations stay in Moffat County to help your friends and neighbors.
- Christmas for Kids
- Christmas for Seniors
- Interfaith Food Bank

Make checks out to your specific nonprofit, if you plan to make a financial donation. Or make out your check to Moffat County United Way to have it split between the four nonprofits.
