Put a wrap on it

Today is the last day of the drive for Press Christmas for All. If you can donate, please come to the Press circulation office on the southwest corner of Second Street and Coeur d'Alene. Donations will be gratefully accepted until noon. Donors can also make credit card contributions by phone by calling 664-0220 between 5 and 11 a.m. today.

Another strong day of giving Friday boosted the 2012 Press Christmas for All campaign to $187,550, but because of the holiday weekend, a final tally won't be known until Wednesday.

If this year is like all the others, some donations won't reach the Press until Tuesday's mail is delivered. That's when we'll make a final accounting and report it in Wednesday's paper.

We'll not only tell readers how much was raised, but how many applications were fulfilled and how many individuals were helped.

Until then, Merry Christmas!

Notes from our donors

The stories are heart-wrenching in so many cases. We've had challenges in our lives, but never to the extent of some of our fellow residents. Our thanks for everything you do in dispersing this money to our many needy families.

"Jesus is the reason for the season."
