BANGOR – Mike Dow of KISS 94.5 FM reports the 10th annual Mike and Mike Manna Food Drive got under way Monday in a trailer in the Bangor Mall parking lot near Dick’s Sporting Goods and JC Penny.

Radio personalities Mike and Mike will live in the trailer through Wednesday, Nov. 26, while they solicit Thanksgiving donations for the needy.

The radio personalities will spend three days living in the parking lot, asking listeners to contribute nonperishable food items to the Manna Food Cupboard.

Last year’s drive collected 36 tons of food.

Dow has been informed by Manna’s executive director, Bill Rae, that the food collected last year lasted through the winter months but, this year, the need is greater.
