Congratulations, Chatham, you did well.

Volunteers with the Chatham Goodfellows canvassed most of the community Monday night as part of the group’s annual Porchlight campaign.

Goodfellows raised $35,000 Monday night, an increase of more than $3,000 from 2012.

As well, local residents donated a large amount of non-perishable food and toys.

Financial donations can still be made during the street sales campaign Dec. 13 and 14.

Toys and non-perishable food can also be donated at various places throughout Chatham, including right here at The Chatham Voice, at 84 Dover St., Unit 2.

Other locations include, Canadian Tire, Pennington’s, both Chatham LCBO locations, Real Canadian Superstore, Heritage Savings and Credit Union, CIBC branches, Riverview Bingo, Rona, Scotiabank branches, the YMCA, Staples, TD branches, Tepperman’s, Van Kesteren Hyundai, Winners, Blackburn Radio and Sun Media.
