It's time for Holiday Help
Each year, the Ledger-Enquirer's Holiday Help program helps hundreds of people, and this year will be no exception.
The premise is simple: People in need write letters describing their plight, and people with plenty choose letters and then help the people in need.
We begin accepting letters on Monday, and we expect to have enough by the end of this week for potential givers to peruse.
To see the letters and make a selection, stop by our lobby on the first floor of the Hardaway Building at 945 Broadway from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday through Dec. 23, and 8:30 a.m. to noon on Christmas Eve.
If you have a great need this holiday season, we hope you'll send us a holiday help letter. Here's how: Write a letter describing what you need. Be sure to include your name, phone number and address so donors can contact you. Mail it to: Holiday Help, P.O. Box 711; Columbus, GA 31902-0711. You can also drop off your letter in the Ledger-Enquirer lobby.
If you have an abundance, we hope you'll consider helping.
The Ledger-Enquirer does not screen letters, nor can it guarantee their truthfulness.
Happy holidays from the Ledger-Enquirer!
