The Chatham Goodfellows had a successful weekend raising funds to ensure their motto, “No Child Without a Christmas,” comes true.
Street Sales on Friday and Saturday raised nearly $31,500, up almost $1,500 from a year ago.
“Thank you. We can’t do this without you all. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,” the Goodfellows board of directors said in a media release.
The board said the support of the community and generosity of the volunteers makes helping families in Chatham possible for the Goodfellows.
Last year, the Goodfellows raised $228,000 over the course of the 2023 campaign. Final numbers for this year are still being tallied and won’t be known until early 2025.
