WTHI-TV and First Financial Bank have teamed up for the “Food for Friends” food drive. The weak economy has led to more families than normal needing help to put food on the table.

We are asking viewers to make a donation by bringing non-perishable items to our studios, 918 Ohio St, any First Financial Bank locations, the Tribune Star and participating fire departments.

"Food for Friends" is modeled after our “Share Your Thanksgiving” campaign. It helps stock the shelves of soup kitchens and food pantries throughout the area. But Food for Friends helps people not just during the holiday, but everyday..

Your donations to Catholic Charities are very much appreciated. Consider making a contribution to “Food for Friends.” Families depend on it.
