Members of the Essex Region Goodfellows and Essex Fire & Rescue are looking forward to raise funds to support local families and individuals in need this holiday season.
On Friday, November 16 and Saturday, November 17, area Goodfellows and firefighters will trade campaign newspapers for donations in Essex, Harrow, and McGregor Centres, and at Cozy Corners.
It is hoped this year’s efforts will at least equal last year’s total, which raised around $43,000 through the Goodfellows Newspaper campaign.
The funds are divided between the Essex Area Food Bank, the Essex Salvation Army, and the Harrow and McGregor chapters of the St. Vincent de Paul.
