Infineon Raceway will partner with Froggy 92.9 FM, The Fox 101.7 FM, Cycle Gear, Destination RKA and Friends In Sonoma Helping (FISH) to help feed the needy in Sonoma County by collecting non-perishable food items. The public is encouraged to bring food items to the raceway during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.) from October 14 – November 18. Items can be dropped in bins located in the main office.

Those who cannot make the trip to Infineon Raceway still have a chance to participate in the food drive. The Destination RKA store in Healdsburg will serve as a satellite food drop location and is located at 1423A Grove St. RKA is open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. For directions, please call (707) 433-3727.
