Santa’s Helper update

loading...

Many donations arrived over the weekend, all addressed to the Santa’s Helper Fund. We send out our sincere thanks to all of the following individuals, families and organizations. A note from the principal of the Eddington Elementary School was attached to the gift that came from the students and staff of that school, in which he expressed his pride in the leadership of the fourth graders who took on their “caring from their heart” endeavor.

We continue to remain hopeful of reaching our goal of $50,000 for the Salvation Army whose volunteers will be working around the clock this week to bring a little Christmas to the neediest among us.
