A request for holiday help

Needy Northeast residents have been contacting the Times, and our 74th annual Eleanor Smylie Community Fund is here to help them.

The fund — named in memory of our late chairwoman — relies on the generosity of our readers. All money collected will be used to buy supermarket gift cards for individuals and families.

We’ve heard from a woman on SSD who relies on food banks and another woman whose family has struggled to pay bills since her husband was laid off.

For those who donate, we’ll publish your names. Please let us know if you want your donation to remain anonymous.

If you would like to request help, or if you know of someone who could use assistance, write a letter to:

Eleanor Smylie Community Fund

130 Twinbridge Drive

Pennsauken, NJ 08110

Include a name and contact information for an agency or person for verification.

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 would be appreciated.

Thank you for your consideration.
