Foundation Partners with Daily Press Holiday Fund (December, 2010)

The Daily Press announced its partnership with PCFVA in a letter to past supporters. Helping countless families in need for over 80 years, the Fund provides food and clothing, safety and shelter, and holiday gifts for the underprivileged. This season, over $100,000 was contributed to the Fund by over 1,200 generous local DP readers. Because the costs associated with the campaign are covered by the Daily Press and the Community Foundation, 100% of each contribution goes toward helping our less fortunate neighbors. Well done, DP readers!
