The 2018 X- and KJ-A-Thon was a huge success.

 

Thanks to you, $16,168 was contributed to the FISH and Catholic Charities Christmas Store that will be open this weekend for invited shoppers.

In addition to the cash, vehicles one after another pulled into our parking lot to help fill the semi trailer provided by Rural King. A separate van was packed with non-perishable food items that will supply the Catholic Charities food pantry.

Thanks, also, to Christmas Store organizer Mollie Bushue and her family and other volunteers who received the donated items and kept the semi trailer in order.

Once again, you proved that the Effingham area is a giving and helping community.
