The Thunder Bay Christmas Cheer fund is lowering the bar this holiday season.
The organization announced a campaign goal of $129,000, a target that’s $1,000 less than last year.
Chair Joleene Kemp says, while demand for hampers is rising, she’s confident they can still provide the same quality services with a lower goal.
Kemp adds they’ve been able to get the best deal possible for the food they have to purchase, as well as for the turkeys, which is their biggest cost. (Photo: Caryn Ceolin)
