One young Wallaceburg philanthropist in training is learning from his grandma how to help children in need. Kyle Burtch, 4, has been helping his grandma sell tickets for a gift basket to raise money to buy toys for the Chatham Goodfellows’ No Child Without a Christmas campaign.
He has been “helping” since he was a toddler, according to his grandma, and this year, helped to pick out the toys to donate with the $90 raised by the gift basket.
Kyle has his Christmas elf outfit on to bring toys to Goodfellows President Tim Haskell at the toy packing location on St. Clair St. in Chatham.
The Street Sales campaign for the Goodfellows raised in excess of $35,000, up about $3,500 from 2016.
Earlier this month, the Porchlight campaign raised $41,900, a mirror image of its 2016 results.
