From Friday, August 23 through Sunday August 25, CKNX AM920, 101.7 TheOne and 94.5 Classic Rock will be at Grant’s Your Independent Grocer in Hanover to collect cash donations and school supplies to help with the annual backpack program put on by United Way Grey Bruce.

The program continues to be in high demand and a significant strain is put on United Way Grey Bruce to help facilitate all the requests for fully stocked backpacks for students in the region.
