The winter weather makes difficult times seem even harder for struggling families. That's why the Food Bank of Siouxland is hoping to lend a helping hand by gathering donations that help Siouxland's four-legged family members. The food bank is holding a dog and cat food drive through the month of November. 

KPTH and the Hy-Vee warehouse in Cherokee have teamed up to donate 450 pounds of dog food to help hungry pets. 

The food bank is also busy trying to keep up with a busy season. Through the end of November, they had helped more people than any previous year.
