Did you know that Fruit Strip gum is being discontinued? Fruit Stripe’s manufacturer, Ferrara Candy, reports that the multi-colored gum is coming off the market. When our Morning Thing hosts heard the news, we were a little bummed. Marcy Rinehart grew up enjoying that gum with her siblings.
We decided to go on a search for other products that we miss. Check out the full list HERE.

All this week we have been talking about NEW things for the NEW Year. Today for our Friday Favorites, we decided to share the NEW things that we want to try in 2024. Some of these items are simple ideas for our daily lives, but some ideas are from our bucket lists. We hope that we encourage you to be brave and try something new as we create new memories in 2024. Thanks for listening to The Morning Thing.
On Friday, 12/8, a very large broadcast crew met and worked together to bring the 2023 Food For The Hungry Broadcast to the Knox County community.
We brought in equipment and expertise from several companies, over 25 college students from Mount Vernon Nazarene University, two MVNU professors and a lot of volunteers.
The Knox Memorial and Theater buzzed with excitement as we shared check presentations, total announcements from many events and collections, and handed out 21 Winter Grants to local food initiatives. It was an incredible day! Our current Food For The Hungry total is $263,502.08 and 11 truckloads of food! Click HERE to listen to the crew as they share their thoughts after a 7-hour broadcast raising funds and celebrating a giving community. The drive continues until 12/31 and you can still give at http://www.foodforthehungrycares.org Last year, the extra donations over the 2022 goal enabled Food For The Hungry to give out $25,000 in Summer Grants to help feed kids over the summer months. Every dollar counts! Thanks for helping us to live out the mission, “Working Together to Care for Our Neighbors”!
