The NewsChannel 7 Share Your Holidays food drive starts Friday.

Members of the NewsChannel 7 staff will be collecting food and money during the Wausau Holiday Parade Friday evening.

In return, we'll be handing out tickets to the Share Your Holidays Choir Concert which is Monday evening at the Grand Theater in Wausau.

Food and money donations are being taken at NewsChannel 7 and at the River Valley Bank branches in the Wausau area.

The bank is matching all donations up to $5000.

Trig's Grocery Store in Wausau is also taking food donations.

Share Your Holidays runs through December 19.

All the money and food raised will be given to the Neighbor's Place and Wausau Salvation Army food pantries.
