We are creating multi-course meals boxed for pick-up that will be available at two Illinois Valley locations: Takilma Community Building & Jubilee Park in Cave Junction. KXCJ will be featuring a “dinner hour” from 7-8PM filled with interviews, radio dramas, our 2021 Gleaning Report, and local music during their 12 hour on-air fundraiser drive.
