MOUNTAIN AREA — For many, this is a season of giving. In the dozen busy days leading up to Christmas on Sunday, Dec. 25, we invite readers to join in celebrating twelve local nonprofits and the people behind them who are making a difference.
We start with a locally broadcast and internet streaming source of news and entertainment playing great music and shows every day.

Why we love it. With a growing mix of thought-provoking local programs and thoroughly eclectic entertainment, KRYZ Community Radio is accessible, commercial-free, independent, and continues its evolution as a strong voice heard throughout the foothills. As a testament to its value, the station was recently awarded a Community Enrichment Grant by the Mariposa Community Foundation. KRYZ is a project of Mariposa Community Radio, a 501(c)3 non profit organization.
