NORTH CONWAY, NH – The 17th annual Mount Washington Radio Food Drive is one for the record books.
Tuesday the Mount Washington Radio team broadcasted live at the First church of Christ Congregational for 12 hours straight. From 6am till 6pm Dj’s and staff from 93.5 FM WMWV, Magic 10.45 FM/98.1 FM, and Easy 95.3 FM as they collect frozen turkeys and non-perishable food items to be distributed across the various Mount Washington Valley Food Pantries.
