The Valley Chronicle - 102.5 The Vine FM Spreads Holiday Cheer with “The Big Holiday Tip”

Hemet, CA – December 30, 2025 — This holiday season, 102.5 The Vine FM turned gratitude into action through The Big Holiday Tip, a special promotion sponsored by JC Plumbing and Khashan Law Firm designed to celebrate and bless local food-industry workers who go above and beyond. Through listener nominations, five deserving servers were selected and surprised with $100 tips, a simple gesture with meaningful impact.

Listeners from across Southwest Riverside County submitted nominations highlighting servers who consistently show kindness, work hard, and make a difference in their workplaces, families and communities. “The Big Holiday Tip is about more than money—it’s about encouragement,” said Chris Thompson, General Manager of 102.5 The Vine FM. “It’s so important to remind people they are seen, valued, and appreciated, especially during the holiday season.”

The surprises were delivered in person, capturing heartfelt reactions and spreading joy not only to the recipients, but also to coworkers and patrons nearby. The promotion reflects 102.5 The Vine FM’s ongoing mission to share the hope of the Gospel and carry out its work.

102.5 The Vine FM thanks JC Plumbing, Khashan Law Firm, and every listener who took the time to nominate a server and be part of this effort to shine a light on local heroes doing meaningful work each day.
