Community fund helps local families in need

The Times’ 68th annual Eleanor Smylie Community Fund helped 120 local families during the holiday season.

Each year, the Times asks its readers to contribute to the fund. All money collected was used to buy gift cards to local supermarkets to provide holiday dinners and/or gifts to those who are struggling to make ends meet.
