Donations sought to help families in need this holiday season

Donate to the Eleanor Smylie Community Fund which has helped thousands of local families during the holiday season.

Christmas is less than a week away, and the Times is in the late stages of coordinating its 69th annual Eleanor Smylie Community Fund, which has helped thousands of local families during the holiday season over the years. Some of the needy people we’ve heard from include a Frankford woman struggling to raise her grandson, an elderly Rhawnhurst woman dealing with medical issues and a Tacony mother hoping to provide for her four kids this Christmas.

Our readers have generously contributed to the fund this year. All money collected is used to buy gift cards to provide holiday dinners and children’s gifts to those who are struggling to make ends meet.

We’ll publish your name in a list of donors. If you prefer to donate anonymously, we will honor that request. If you would like to request help, or if you know of someone who could use assistance during the holidays, please take a few minutes to write a letter. The address is:

Eleanor Smylie Community Fund

2 Executive Campus

Suite 400

Cherry Hill, NJ 08002

Include a name and contact information for an agency or person for verification. Requests can also be sent to [email protected]

The deadline is Friday.

Everything about the process will remain anonymous. If you are able to donate, please send a check to the Eleanor Smylie Community Fund at the address above. Any amount will help, and we will make deliveries as late as Christmas Eve.

Thank you for your consideration.
