The FISH and Catholic Charities Christmas Store needs your help to fill the SEMI during the X & KJ A-THON on Wednesday, December 10th 6:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. The semi will be located at Premier Broadcasting, 206 S. Willow, Effingham.
It takes an entire community to put on an event like the Christmas Store. Help us ensure that every Effingham County child has a Christmas toy and every resident has food on their table on Christmas day.
Every donation helps!
