Heroes Help Ohio

WKYC is joining forces with the Cleveland Foodbank once again to collect much needed food for those in need in Cleveland as well as bring awareness to the Cleveland Foodbank and all they do for Northeast Ohio.

Last year, WKYC and the Cleveland Foodbank banded together to be part of one of the most successful days the Foodbank ever had by setting record breaking numbers in food donations.

This year, "Heroes Help Ohio" will take place Thursday, October 22 in the WKYC front parking lot between 5 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.

The hope is to surpass the amount of food donated last year as well as collect new or slightly used coats for the "Coats for Kids" program and holiday gifts for the Salvation Army.

Please, come on down and bring non-perishable food donations, a cash-donation, or coats or holiday gifts and help make someone's holiday a bit brighter this year.

Spread the word at your school, church, community group, PTA, or any group you are involved with and urge them to participate as well!

Hope to see you down at wkyc on October 22nd!

Weather calendar has arrived

Many, many months ago we asked our viewers to send in and share their favorite views of northeast Ohio.

VOILA --our Northeast Ohio Weather Calendar is not only complete but has arrived!

Along with a bevy of the most pictorial views of northeast Ohio, it contains a plethora of information ranging from daily averages, high and low extremes, weather history trivia, monthly weather highlights, and a stab at trying to explain Ohio's distinct weather personality!

The calendar contains thirty photographs sent in by YOU!

Calendars can be found at seasonal calendar stores in many local malls, independent book stores, online or by phone (216.386.0026).

Calendars cost $12.99 each and a portion of the proceeds goes to the Coats for Kids Program.
