Consider sharing whatever you can with the Santa’s Helper Fund. The needs of so many are great, especially at this time of year, and so we are striving to raise $50,000 through Santa’s Helper to help The Salvation Army meet some of those needs. All money will be forwarded to The Salvation Army through whose tireless dedication these needs will be met.

Donations may be sent to Santa’s Helper Fund, P.O. Box 1329, Bangor 04402-1329. Donors’ names and dollar amounts will be published in the Santa’s Helper column daily. Donors who prefer to remain anonymous will be listed as such, followed by their donation amounts. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
