WYANDOTTE Whentimes are bad, donations tocharitable causes tend
to godown.
But that hasnt beenthe case when it comes todonations to the
WyandotteGoodfellows. In fact, theorganization has been notonly
holding its own, but isbucking the trend by con-tinuing to see an
increase indonations from year to year.
Thats a good thing,said Secretary/TreasurerAndy Swiecki,
becausewithout the generosity ofso many area residents
theGoodfellows wouldnt beable to accomplish its goalof making sure
no childgoes without a Christmas.When the donation levelallows it,
the Goodfellowscan be more generous withthe families they
assist.
We help out between 120and 130 families each year,
all who live in Wyandotte,Swiecki said. When we getmore, we can
give more perfamily.
It helps to have enthusias-tic volunteers. Firefighterskick off
the Goodfellowsbig newspaper salesfundraiser at the annualChristmas
parade, whichtakes place Nov. 17 in thedowntown area. Thatsfollowed
a week later bythe efforts of the ReservePolice, who solicit
dona-
tions on one of the citysbusiest streets, usually atthe Fort
Street and EurekaRoad intersection, theFriday and Saturday
afterThanksgiving.
Volunteers often go outafter that, depending onweather
conditions and howmuch has been raised. Overthe past few years the

agenda, would
cut positions from theelementary to high schoollevels.

the restof the week as the districtfights to climb out of a$19
