It was a good night for the Goodfellows Monday. The 60th annual Porchlight campaign raised $36,500, which is about $1,000 more than last year’s effort.
As well, residents donated more than 50 banana boxes full of toys and non-perishable food.
The Goodfellows board of directors appreciates the generosity of the public, especially in the wake of a theft of $3,700 in toys and batteries from the organization last month.
