\"\"A successful night for the Chatham Goodfellows<\/a> Porchlight campaign Monday.<\/p>\n

\"\"Volunteers were spread throughout the community collecting cash, toys and food to make sure No Child is Without a Christmas this season. $57,680<\/span> in cash was collected this year. That’s down from last years $59,000.<\/p>\n

The Porchlight fundraiser is important because it helps purchase vital items for the food hampers that are given to families in need, like turkeys, hams and bags of milk.<\/p>\n

The annual Goodfellows newspaper Street Sales are December 15 & 16. Volunteers will be outside of local businesses selling the annual Goodfellows papers. For more information or to volunteer go to ChathamGoodfellows.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n
