Money is going towards the over 400 baskets of groceries and toys being delivered to families in need in North Bay.  

Friday’s radiothon featured plenty of festive cheer, donations from the community and live music throughout the day.   

Volunteers will pack the Santa Fund baskets on December 22, with delivery the next day.   

Donations continue to be accepted at Gem Sewing on Worthington Street West and online at santafund.ca.
