Those who donated to The Empty Stocking Fund on Friday made the person who runs the fund at The Robesonian, Clarissa Jackson, work late to get all the money counted.
She was glad to do so, as 27 more gifts pushed the fund’s total to $25,547.00 with one more week to contribute.
There were three more $500 gifts — one from the Carolina Shaggers, one to honor Bo and Margaret Abbott and another in honor of Pam Rancke and her husband John.
We are on pace to set the record for number of donations, and should that happen, it will be because of the thoughtfulness of John and Pam Rancke. There were nine more gifts in their honor today.
Donations can be made in person at our office at 2175 N. Roberts Ave. or mailed to us at P.O Box 1028, Lumberton, NC 28359. Just make the check payable to The Empty Stocking Fund. If you plan on making a gift of at least $500 and want a photograph published, please call Donnie Douglas, editor of The Robesonian, at 910-272-6104 to schedule that.
Each day, The Robesonian will list the money donated and the contributors. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can do so by being listed as “A friend” or “Anonymous.” Donations can also be made in honor or memory of loved ones.
