The Herrin House of Hope has seen a dramatic increase in the amount of meals served each week due to the Covid-19 pandemic.  Last week, it was an approximate 400% increase in meals served to members of the Southern Illinois community.  If you can help out in any way, financially, or even with volunteering if you are healthy, you can find out how to do that at the Herrin House of Hope website!  Located on S. 14th Street, the Herrin House of Hope serves meals Monday through Saturday from 11AM to 1PM!  In case you missed it, I was able to speak with Pastor Troy Benitone with Community of Faith Church.  He helps organize the incredible volunteer effort that takes place there every day!

I had an opportunity to talk with Dr. Mathew Winkleman with SIH on today's #KiTC Morning Show.  Here at New Country Z100 and River Radio Group, we are doing our best to present facts, not fear.  1st thing is this, don't go out unless you absolutely have to.  Now is the time where social distancing is more important than ever!

SIH has set up a 24-hour COVID-19 hotline.  1-844-988-7800.
