CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- In the second week of the Gazette Charities Christmas Fund, generous donors gave more than $13,000, pushing the grand total to more than $21,300 for the season.
We're still a long way from our goal, but there's still plenty of time to give. This year, the fund is supporting 10 local help agencies that work each day to meet the need in our community.
If you're considering a donation, please don't delay, and remember that no amount is too small.
The Gazette covers all administrative costs of the fund, which means every penny you give goes to the people who need it most.
