A donation in the Salvation Army's Red Kettle, Toys for Tots, Festival of Trees, PJs for Xmas, Angle Trees, and Christmas Dinners offered by various organizations are just a few of contributors that touched families in Ogdensburg. Economic times are tough for all and St. Lawrence County is rank #1 in unemployment North of NYC. Every person that had the ability and did stepped up to help our fellow Americans deserves a Thank You!

Yitta, helping by volunteering at the Amvets annual Christmas Dinner...CHMC Festival of Trees volunteers and special thanks to Agnes Lightfoot and Diane Dailey...Toys for Tots had many valuable volunteers, a job only for the many, and at the helm Ray Cutway...PJs for Xmas, only 11 & 14 Abigail and Camille Marshall donate 1205 PJs for Xmas, plus they received the 2010 St. Lawrence Hero of the Year Award...Knights of Columbus every years provides meals on major holidays and came through again during the Christmas season...those that volunteered time to the Salvation army...Churches...cub scouts volunteered to help fill donation bags.
There are plenty others not mentioned but they did not do what they did for recognition, they did it because they CARE. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas

These great organizations stepped up as they always do.. Most families are having a hard time making ends meet but find a way to come up with a little extra for the needy.
I have got a problem with the Fort, Remmington and some of the others always want contributions. They try to embarss people into donations. Like I commented some time ago and I stand by it all the politicans who spent Millions to get elected to offices should put a little compassion for the little guy.. Doheny who spent two and a half million of his own money to get a one hundred and fifty thousand dollar job is really absurb..Doheny Owens Ritchie, Blankenbush, Russell all should hang their names in shame..
Those who want to cut social programs should experience the hardship of trying to make ends meet and the wanting of just living like others..
