The Santa’s Helper Fund originated from Bangor Daily News Charities, an organization of the Bangor Daily News whose purpose, in part, is to care for, comfort and provide relief to the needy. Donations to the Santa’s Helper Fund are given to The Salvation Army to help defray costs incurred during the holidays and throughout the year to assist those who need a helping hand. Donations are sorted by town or city or origin, and are routed back to that region’s local Salvation Army unit. Therefore, donors understand that their gifts are helping friends and neighbors in their community.
