CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- About 100 readers stepped forward this week and made a donation to help the less fortunate in our community.
The donations this week totaled more than $12,000, pushing the grand total to more than $33,300.
Unfortunately, the need far surpasses that total.
But there's still a few weeks left to give. Won't you consider a donation to the Gazette Charities Christmas Fund?
Donations to the fund help local agencies - Daymark, Covenant House, Heart & Hand and more -- help the ones who need it most.
Please don't delay in sending in your contribution this holiday season. No donation is too small, and the Gazette covers all administrative costs of the fund, meaning every penny of your donation is sent to the agencies we support.
Look for the donation coupon with this story, or to give online, go to wvgazette.com and click on the Christmas Fund logo.
