Bill Shaw fund: With your help, we can make a difference for Fayetteville-area families

The Bill Shaw Salvation Army Christmas Fund is just shy of $80,000, but there's still time. All donations, big and small, can help make a difference for people in our community. Every dollar counts.

The fund, which has raised millions to help people in Cumberland County and beyond for the holidays and during the year, is named for the late Observer photographer who for years managed the fund and was one of its top advocates.

$1,000 club members

Joining our elite $1,000 club members is South River EMC Community Assistance Corporation, which gave $5,000. Evelyn Blanton gave $3,000, and Pat Williford gave $1,000. Thank you for your donations.
