2026 GOAL: $345,000

oin Food For The Hungry (FFTH) of Knox County in celebrating 45 years! The goal for the 2026 FFTH Drive is to collect $345,000 and as much nonperishable food as possible. In 1982, Charlie Kilkenny of WMVO utilized his radio platform and rallied together the community to collect food and money for local factory workers who were laid off shortly before Christmas. Growing from that grassroots campaign, FFTH is now a nonprofit organization focused on providing food and financial support to entities striving to reduce hunger in Knox County. In order to accomplish this mission, there is an annual drive made up of multiple events, culminating in FFTH Live Broadcast and Drive Day.

UPCOMING EVENTS THAT SUPPORT FFTH Knox Community Jazz Orchestra Concert (free; donations encouraged), Sat., Nov. 14, 7 PM, Kenyon College Rosse Hall Patsy Cline Benefit Concerts (ticket required), Fri., Nov. 20, 7:30 PM and Sat., Nov. 21, 2 PM and 7:30 PM, The Woodward Opera House 16th Annual Turkey Trot (free; donations encouraged), Thurs., Nov. 26, 8 AM, registration at MVNU Chapel Knox County Parks’ Fire and Ice Luminaries at Honey Run Waterfall (free; donations encouraged), Sat., Dec. 6, 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM.

Each dollar given to FFTH equals $4.56 in buying power at Mid-Ohio Food Collective. That means that just a couple of dollars given to the Drive can provide an entire meal for a local family. Every donation made to FFTH stays in Knox County!

FFTH Live Broadcast and Drive Day, Fri., Dec. 11, from 9 AM to 4 PM. Tune in to the Broadcast on 100.9 WMVO or watch it live on www.WNZR.tv. Collection Points will be open throughout the county.

Anyone can get involved with the 2026 Drive by attending events, giving monetary or nonperishable food donations, and volunteering!

Snowflake Gala (tickets required), Fri., Dec. 11, 6 PM, at Kenyon College’s Lowry Center

It is estimated that 14,400 people struggle with food insecurity in Knox County, and you can make a difference by partnering with FFTH. Get involved by donating, volunteering, hosting an event or collection, and spreading the word.

SPOTLIGHT Dean's Jewelry

Celebrating 60 Years

of Family, Tradition, and Making Memories

n 1966, a family jewelry store opened its doors in Coshocton, Ohio, beginning a story that would span four generations and countless special moments. Today, as Dean's Jewelry celebrates its 61st anniversary, that family tradition continues with siblings Michelle and Noah Turner leading the business and Michelle's son, Cole, managing the Mount Vernon location, which opened in 2008. For six decades, Dean's has had the privilege of being part of life's most meaningful celebrations. We've watched young couples become grandparents, helped families create traditions, and welcomed generations of customers who have become friends. Our culture is built on genuine relationships, honest service, and a belief that jewelry is so much more than something beautiful to wear. It's a symbol of love, connection, and the moments that make life extraordinary. As we celebrate 61 years, we're grateful for the generations who built this business, the dedicated team who carries its values forward, and the communities that have embraced us. Our greatest legacy isn't the jewelry we've sold. It's the relationships we've built and the memories we've helped create.

made easier with simple “cheats”

Upside Down Chili Pie 4 cups chili (canned or homemade) 1/2 cup water 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix 1 large egg 1/3 cup milk 1 tsp onion powder

Warm up the chili and water over med. heat. If your chili is especially thick, add up to another 1/2 cup of water. Transfer chili to casserole dish. You should have about an inch of headspace left in the pan. Prepare the cornbread batter: In a medium mixing bowl, add the corn muffin mix, egg, milk, and onion powder. Stir everything together until well incorporated. Drop 1/4 cup portions all over the chili. Very gently, using the back of the spoon, push the batter towards the edge of the casserole pan, spreading the cornbread batter until most of the chili is covered. Bake 25-35 min. The cornbread batter should have risen and be a deep yellow color. Let the casserole cool for about 10 min. before serving so the chili can set.

Chicken Pot Pie 2 1/2 cups diced rotisserie chicken or other cooked chicken 1 (16-ounce) jar alfredo sauce 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Make the filling: In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, combine the chicken, Alfredo sauce, and vegetables. Add 1/4 cup water to the Alfredo sauce jar, screw the lid on, and shake, then add to the chicken mixture. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Cover with pastry: On a lightly floured countertop, gently roll out the puff pastry so it is just large enough to cover the top of the skillet with a little overhang. Drape the puff pastry over the skillet and cut 4 slits in it to allow the steam to vent. Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 25- 30 min. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Pumpkin Mousse 8 oz cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup sugar 15 oz pumpkin

3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 1 cup cold 2% milk

1-3/4 cups whipped topping 24 gingersnaps, divided Whipped cream, optional

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth; add pumpkin, pudding mix and pie spice. Gradually beat in milk. Fold in whipped topping. Spoon 1/4 cup mousse into eight serving dishes. Crumble 16 gingersnaps; sprinkle over mousse. Top each with remaining mousse. Refrigerate until serving. Top with whipped cream and additional crushed gingersnaps just before serving.
