BRATTLEBORO — Organizers of Project Feed the Thousands say the annual campaign that raises non-perishable food items and cash to assist those less fortunate in our area is short of its goal.
“While it appears that we will meet our food goal, it is critical that we meet our monetary goal as well,” Project Feed Co-chair Kelli Corbeil said in a news release.
Because the fundraising campaign runs only for a short time, once each year, the charity needs funds to sustain its efforts until the next campaign gets underway in November.
To date, according to Corbeil, the campaign has raised $70,000 of its $85,000 goal.
While the official end of the drive was Dec. 31, the charity still welcomes contributions.
