We're seeking volunteers at The Goodfellow Fund.
The Goodfellow Fund is the Star-Telegram's holiday charity and was founded by Star-Telegram employees in 1912. The Goodfellow Fund provides clothing and shoes for underprivileged Tarrant County school-age children during the holiday season.
What you can do to be a Goodfellow
The Goodfellow Fund depends solely on the generosity of the community to assist underprivileged school-age children. For the past several years the need for clothes and shoes for qualifying Tarrant County school-age children has exceeded community support.
* Volunteers
Volunteers are needed throughout the campaign to process the thousands of requests for assistance. Your help in reviewing applications and in addressing envelopes with appointment letters outlining the date and time for the applicant interview will be greatly appreciated.
Volunteers are also needed to interview families to ensure they meet eligibility criteria. Your help is needed and appreciated.
If you would like to be a volunteer, please call the volunteer line at
817-308-8176 or email volunteer.goodfellows@ccdofw.org.
* Donations
In the 2014 campaign, the generous Star-Telegram community enough funds to provide shoes and clothing to approximately 18,500 local children. With your help, Fund officials are hopeful that the 2015 campaign will also be able to serve the first 18,500 qualified children.
You can donate using either our secure online form to make a donation now or you may mail a donation to us. Our mailing address for donations is: The Goodfellow Fund, PO Box 1870, Fort Worth, TX, 76101. Thank you in advance for your donation and support of The Goodfellow Fund.
