Hundreds pitch in to help out Good News Fund

The Herald Good News Fund's 11th annual drive is under way to provide turkeys for Christmas to families who ordinarily would be unable to afford such a holiday staple.

For its 2003 food drive, The Good News Fund has set a goal of buying 1,250 turkeys for distribution in the Mercer County area.

People wanting to make a contribution should make their checks payable to The Good News Fund and mail them in care of The Herald, Box 51, Sharon 16146. Contributions may be dropped off at The Herald's main office, 52 S. Dock St.

All donations to The Good News Fund by residents and businesses are tax-deductible. From the donations, turkeys will be provided to local families through the Community Food Warehouse of the Shenango Valley and its network of 16 pantries.

Turkeys will be bought from Magnotto's Shop 'n Save. Michael Magnotto, president of the grocery store, has volunteered to provide them at dealer's cost, as he has since the inception of The Good News Fund.
