The Spirit Of Christmas Cheer Fund “God bless the Cheer Fund,” one donor wrote in a note that came along with their donation. “You bring happiness to so many needy people.”

Letter writer is happy to give

Since 1927 the Christmas Cheer Fund has received thousands of letters from children and adults in North Iowa asking for a little help to brighten the holidays. The requests are often not for “gifts”, but help with necessities like food, warm socks or a coat.

Other letters are from North Iowa residents who in their generosity give the donations that help so many. No donation is too small, from the pennies gathered by kindergartners to the generous checks given in memory of loved ones. In the past 87 years you have given $2.68 million to help fellow North Iowans in need of a little cheer for the holidays. This year’s goal is $125,000.

Cheer Fund donations or referrals may be made to: Christmas Cheer Fund, Globe-Gazette, PO Box 271, Mason City IA 504020271 or taken to the Globe-Gazette office, 300 North Washington Ave., Mason City, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
