Previewing the Hams for Heroes Drive next Monday

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The "Hams for Heroes" drive encourages people to donate hams that will go to firefighters, police, Veterans, and anyone else who's a hero.

The event is being put on by the "K-9 OPS Foundation," and the foundation's president, KC Hoffman, says they are here to support local heroes.

"What we want to do is give them the chance to either keep them for their family or give them to someone that they feel needs it more than they do," Hoffman says.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Blackwell, the General Manager of Z93 and and Outlaw Country Radio, shares why it is important to help out those who consistently help others.

"Our heroes give so much of themselves to each of us every single day and a lot of ways we never realize and it’s important that we think of them, the holidays can be difficult, and this is one way where they really might feel appreciated," said Blackwell.

The drive is happening next Monday, December 8,  from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. at the Foothills Walmart. We're a proud sponsor of this drive, along with  Z-93 and Outlaw Country.
