Merry Christmas Fund needs boost for needy families
Major John Zanders of the Chester Salvation Army notes the fund lags the $15,000 goal set on Thanksgiving as gifts support Christmas dinners and toys for laid off or jobless local families. Donors include Jr. of Chester and Jack T Murphey of Darby with $25, plus several $5 to $15 gifts from Media, Folsom, Aston, and Philadelphia. Send checks payable to The Merry Christmas Fund to Delaware County Daily Times in Primos.
